This patchset adds a new AUDIT_TIME_ADJUSTED record type, which is
associated to the adjtimex(2) syscall record whenever it is invoked in
non-read-only mode.
Changes in v2:
- The audit_adjtime() function has been modified to only log those fields that contain
values that are actually used, resulting in more compact records.
- The audit_adjtime() call has been moved to do_adjtimex() in timekeeping.c
- Added an additional patch (for review) that simplifies the detection if the syscall is
read-only.

New subject: [RFC PATCH ghak10 v2 1/4] audit: Add AUDIT_TIME_ADJUSTED record type
This auxiliary record type will be used to annotate the adjtimex SYSCALL
records with the information that the clock has been adjusted. This
record shall be emitted only when the clock is modified (including
changes that have no effect, e.g. adjust by zero offset, etc.).

New subject: [RFC PATCH ghak10 v2 2/4] audit: Add the audit_adjtime() function
This patch adds a new function that shall be used to log any
modification of the system's clock (via the adjtimex() syscall).
The function logs an audit record of type AUDIT_TIME_ADJUSTED with the
following fields:
* txmodes (the 'modes' field of struct timex; this is the only
mandatory field)
* txsec, txusec (the 'tv_sec' and 'tv_usec' fields of the 'time'
field
of struct timex (respectively))
* txoffset (the 'offset' field of struct timex)
* txfreq (the 'freq' field of struct timex)
* txmaxerr (the 'maxerror' field of struct timex)
* txesterr (the 'esterror' field of struct timex)
* txstatus (the 'status' field of struct timex)
* txconst (the 'constant' field of struct timex)
* txtick (the 'tick' field of struct timex)
These fields allow to reconstruct what exactly was changed by the
adjtimex syscall and to what value(s). Note that the values reported are
taken directly from the structure as received from userspace. The
syscall handling code may do some clamping of the values internally
before actually changing the kernel variables. Also, the fact that this
record has been logged does not necessarily mean that some variable was
changed (it may have been set to the same value as the old value).
Quick overview of the 'struct timex' semantics:
The 'modes' field is a bitmask specifying which time variables (if
any) should be adjusted. The other fields (of those listed above)
contain the values of the respective variables that should be set. If
the corresponding bit is not set in the 'modes' field, then a field's
value is not significant (it may be some garbage value passed from
userspace).
Note that after processing the input values from userspace, the
handler writes (all) the current (new) internal values into the struct
and hands it back to userspace. These values are not logged.
Also note that 'txusec' may actually mean nanoseconds, not
microseconds, depending on whether ADJ_NSEC is set in 'modes'.
Possible improvements:
* move the conditional for logging/not logging into audit_adjtime()
- (see also next patch in series)
- may not be desirable due to reasons above
- we should probably either do both this and above or neither
* log also the old values + the actual values that get set
- this would be rather difficult to do, probably not worth it

I see below that you conditionally log these fields if the flag is

(disappearing) so this could cause problems for parsers looking for
specific fields that aren't present. The first version of the patch
listed them all, which may be overkill. As has been suggested, limiting
it to security-affecting fields would be a first step.
Another possibility would be to list one changed field per record. This
could work if multiple flags are infrequent in one call. A format I'd
suggest might be txfield=mode old=<value> new=<value>. (Note only the
single flag value rather than all modes flags.) There would be more
overhead if there was more than one field present in a call, but would
address the disappearing fields issue.
These fields allow to reconstruct what exactly was changed by the
adjtimex syscall and to what value(s). Note that the values reported are

I see below that you conditionally log these fields if the flag is

(disappearing) so this could cause problems for parsers looking for
specific fields that aren't present. The first version of the patch
listed them all, which may be overkill. As has been suggested, limiting
it to security-affecting fields would be a first step.
I assumed that it was normal for records to have some fields that are
optional (i.e. it is known and documented that they may be missing).
But I understand that it is quite inconvenient to handle such fields
and the desire to have all fields always there, even if with some
special 'empty' values...
Another possibility would be to list one changed field per record.
This
could work if multiple flags are infrequent in one call. A format I'd
suggest might be txfield=mode old=<value> new=<value>. (Note only the
single flag value rather than all modes flags.) There would be more
overhead if there was more than one field present in a call, but would
address the disappearing fields issue.
Indeed this would be nicer, although more verbose... Also, detecting
old and new values would require a bit more intrusive code changes,
but it should be doable.

New subject: [RFC PATCH ghak10 v2 4/4] [OPTIONAL] Determine read-only in the validation function
This is an optional patch that modifies the previous one to determine
whether the operation is read-only in the timekeeping_validate_timex()
function instead of duplicating the complex condition.
A minor issue with this patch is that the validation function now
sometimes returns -EINVAL where it would before return -EPERM in the
cases where both errors are applicable. This may not be desired.
Please ACK or NACK, I'm not sure which variant is better...
