This need came about in Samsung's mobile products. Id like to see and attempt to get this mainstreamed. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ok I can port on top of your series. The KConfig default is really nice, as it allows for an ignorant userspace. However, I could nix that if its a show stopper.

Rather timely, so we don't have to keep introducing message types. AUDIT_SET/AUDIT_GET certainly weren't well thought out in that way. I'd like your thoughts on those patches (really 1/7 does the heavy lifting 6/7 and 7/7 use it) I thinking porting on top of my series will result in your patch being about 10 lines. I also don't love the name. This isn't about splitting logs, it's about also logging to kmsg. Do we need the Kconfig default? I'd think we should be able to get this set early enough in userspace. Any messages before auditd are going to go to kmsg. I envision that we should be able to set features in the audit.rules so you should be able to turn this on before auditd starts and things would stop going to kmsg. But I don't see a problem with it.

A memset to 0 is adequate if you want to be able to turn features back off. You have to know if the 0 or 1 is meaningful. Without the mask userland would have to read the features from the kernel, twiddle whichever bits they want to twiddle, then write the features back to the kernel. With the mask userspace can specify which bits they are twiddling and which bits the kernel just shouldn't touch. So the read before write isn't necessary and removes that little race. I thought it made setting/unsetting bits easier on the userspace side. I can get rid of the mask if you think the read/twiddle/write option is better than set-mask/write -Eric On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 3:33 PM, William Roberts <bill.c.roberts(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Well when I was adding to the AUDIT MSG types, I felt pretty dirty :-P > > I think versioning and bitpacking the features is the right way to go. > > Whats the purpose of mask in audit_features struct? > > Looks like you use it to indicate which bits userspace intended to set, > incase the structure wasn't memset to 0? > > Bill > > > On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 9:34 AM, Eric Paris <eparis(a)parisplace.org&gt; wrote: >> >> On Wed, 2013-05-22 at 19:18 -0700, William Roberts wrote: >> > This need came about in Samsung's mobile products.
