The audit subsystem already has the "opid" and
"ocomm" fields for
reporting on the object task info and this is even available in
dump_common_audit_data() via LSM_AUDIT_DATA_TASK; is there a reason
that can't be used instead?
That info is not sufficient for debugging smack issues in ptrace calls.
Tracee information is not printed in the logs. For eg. in below log-
[ 378.098330] audit: type=1400 audit(1637212273.300:2): lsm=SMACK
fn=smack_ptrace_access_check action=denied subject="Tracer_lbl"
object="Tracee_lbl" requested= pid=9397 comm="tst_pt" opid=9397
ocomm="tst_pt"
There is no information of the tracee process.
So to debug such ptrace issues, both tracer and tracee information is needed.
That's why added new type to print both info specifically for ptrace scenarios.

Does anyone from the audit side object to my taking this
in the Smack tree?
The audit subsystem already has the "opid" and "ocomm" fields for
reporting on the object task info and this is even available in
dump_common_audit_data() via LSM_AUDIT_DATA_TASK; is there a reason
that can't be used instead?
