Re: Porting audit: implement generic feature setting and retrieving to Android kernel
Nathan,
The "robust port that Google has" was done by me, so we can always use that
:-P The newest features that i back-ported from the upstream kernel were
for a separate feature need that came about when I was at Samsung, which
was the need to send the kernel messages to both kmsg and a userspace
auditd. Eric created a patch for a more generic feature setting
and retrieval implementation on the kernel side, that I rebased my kernel
patch for the "always send to kmsg feature" onto. They were tested on the
desktop, seemed to be fine. I just haven't had the time to get back to the
Android port to test it; likely it will be fine. I just wanted to keep
Eric/community abreast of my porting activity.
FYI I saw your port early on, the reason I wrote one from scratch was due
to the license issues.

If you'd like to test your patch out I have a userland fork of
audit you
can use (https://github.com/nwhusted/AuditdAndroid). For various reasons
we gutted the networking implementation in userland and shoved audisp's
AF_Unix plugin where auditd's networking should be (don't ask). Only auditd
and auditctl will compile (the other programs have certain GNU/libc stuff
that I didn't write bridge-code for), but that should be more then enough
to run through some logging on Android.
At some point I'll have time to go back and make a robust port of audit as
Google has started (hopefully) getting there stuff together and turning
bionic from a piece of junk into something usable.
Cheers,
Nathaniel
