New subject: [PATCH 2/2] audit signal recipients
When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security
context for each target process. Optimize the data collection by
adding a counter for signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an
aux struct unless we have more than one target process. Move the
audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit
attempts where permission is denied.

What I have been thinking about is a grouping for delete and close. That would

Yeah, I know I used it in a different way from the original purpose.
But I think this is still a valid use... When we are adding or
removing a rule, we need a way to determine if the rule specified one
of the syscalls for sending signals.
I don't know if this grouping would be useful in practice.
<shrug>
Yeah I wasn't sure either, so I didn't add the filtering part.
What I have been thinking about is a grouping for delete and close.
That would align with requirements on security standards people have
to meet.
Makes sense. Do you think we're in danger of running out of slots for
syscall classes?

Yeah, I know I used it in a different way from the original purpose.
So, how does this work from a user perspective? Do you need to patch auditctl?
But I think this is still a valid use... When we are adding or
removing a rule, we need a way to determine if the rule specified one
of the syscalls for sending signals.
Could you show a sample use? (Just so I understand what its doing.)
Makes sense. Do you think we're in danger of running out of slots
for
syscall classes?
I think we should be fairly conservative. I hadn't quite got to the point of
saying we needed close and delete since I am still thinking about the
requirements.

So, how does this work from a user perspective? Do you need to patch
auditctl?
For now, only the kernel is using the signal syscall class. You
wouldn't need to do anything in userspace.
For the other signal audit patch, you would only need to add an entry
for AUDIT_TARGET_PID in msg_typetab.h so the new record type is not
logged as UNKNOWN.
This reminds me, do we want/need to be able to filter on target pid?

Could you show a sample use? (Just so I understand what its doing.)
It works like the audit_n_rules counter. When you add a rule
specifying kill, tkill or tgkill the counter goes up. When you remove
one of them, the counter goes down. If the counter is 0 when we hit
the audit_signal_info hook, we don't collect the info about the target
pid(s). That way we don't add unnecessary overhead to the call path.
The signal class exists so we can see if the rule being added/removed
contains any of those particular syscalls.
