[PATCH] fix broken class-based syscall audit
Bug description: When I add an audit watch on a file with no arguments, I
get perm=rwxa but on ia64, changes to the mode and context aren't
audited. I get audit records on i386 and x86_64.
See also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239887
The sanity check in audit_match_class() is wrong, AUDIT_BITMASK_SIZE is
64, providing space for 2048 syscalls in 64 * 32bit integers. The
comparison only supports 256 syscalls (sizeof __u32 is 4), and silently
returns "no match" for valid higher-numbered syscalls.
This breaks class-based audit for all syscalls on ia64 since on that
architecture syscall numbers start at 1024. It breaks some syscall audit
on other architectures also, for example __NR_fchmodat is 306 on x86.
I'd suggest adding a printk() in addition to returning 0 - you don't want
to silently ignore unknown or unsupported syscalls when auditing.
