2020-08-05revert: 1320a4052ea1 ("audit: trigger accompanying records when no rules ↵Paul Moore
present") commit 8ac68dc455d9d18241d44b96800d73229029ed34 upstream. Unfortunately the commit listed in the subject line above failed to ensure that the task's audit_context was properly initialized/set before enabling the "accompanying records". Depending on the situation, the resulting audit_context could have invalid values in some of it's fields which could cause a kernel panic/oops when the task/syscall exists and the audit records are generated. We will revisit the original patch, with the necessary fixes, in a future kernel but right now we just want to fix the kernel panic with the least amount of added risk.

2020-04-20audit: check the length of userspace generated audit recordsPaul Moore
Commit 756125289285 ("audit: always check the netlink payload length in audit_receive_msg()") fixed a number of missing message length checks, but forgot to check the length of userspace generated audit records. The good news is that you need CAP_AUDIT_WRITE to submit userspace audit records, which is generally only given to trusted processes, so the impact should be limited.

The patches pass our test suites and a quick summary is below: - Stop logging inode information when updating an audit file watch. Since we are not changing the inode, or the fact that we are watching the associated file, the inode information is just noise that we can do without. - Fix a problem where mandatory audit records were missing their accompanying audit records (e.g. SYSCALL records were missing).

2020-03-12audit: trigger accompanying records when no rules presentRichard Guy Briggs
When there are no audit rules registered, mandatory records (config, etc.) are missing their accompanying records (syscall, proctitle, etc.). This is due to audit context dummy set on syscall entry based on absence of rules that signals that no other records are to be printed. Clear the dummy bit if any record is generated. The proctitle context and dummy checks are pointless since the proctitle record will not be printed if no syscall records are printed.

2017-11-10audit: initialize the audit subsystem as early as possiblePaul Moore
We can't initialize the audit subsystem until after the network layer is initialized (core_initcall), but do it soon after. Reviewed-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
2017-11-10audit: ensure that 'audit=1' actually enables audit for PID 1Paul Moore
Prior to this patch we enabled audit in audit_init(), which is too late for PID 1 as the standard initcalls are run after the PID 1 task is forked. This means that we never allocate an audit_context (see audit_alloc()) for PID 1 and therefore miss a lot of audit events generated by PID 1. This patch enables audit as early as possible to help ensure that when PID 1 is forked it can allocate an audit_context if required.

2017-09-05audit: Reduce overhead using a coarse clockMel Gorman
Commit 2115bb250f26 ("audit: Use timespec64 to represent audit timestamps") noted that audit timestamps were not y2038 safe and used a 64-bit timestamp. In itself, this makes sense but the conversion was from CURRENT_TIME to ktime_get_real_ts64() which is a heavier call to record an accurate timestamp which is required in some, but not all, cases. The impact is that when auditd is running without any rules that all syscalls have higher overhead. This is visible in the sysbench-thread benchmark as a 11.5% performance hit. That benchmark is dumb as rocks but it's also visible in redis as an 8-10% hit on all operations which is of greater concern. It is somewhat stupid of audit to track syscalls without any rules related to syscalls but that is how it behaves. The overhead can be directly measured with perf comparing 4.9 with 4.12 4.9 7.76% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 7.62% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock 7.37% sysbench libpthread-2.22.so [.] __lll_lock_elision 7.29% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [.] syscall_return_via_sysret 6.59% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] native_sched_clock 5.21% sysbench libc-2.22.so [.] __sched_yield 4.38% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64 4.28% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_syscall_64 3.49% sysbench libpthread-2.22.so [.] __lll_unlock_elision 3.13% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __audit_syscall_exit 2.87% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_curr 2.73% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] pick_next_task_fair 2.31% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] syscall_trace_enter 2.20% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __audit_syscall_entry ..... 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc 4.12 7.84% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 7.05% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock 6.57% sysbench libpthread-2.22.so [.] __lll_lock_elision 6.50% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [.] syscall_return_via_sysret 5.95% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc 5.71% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] native_sched_clock 4.78% sysbench libc-2.22.so [.] __sched_yield 4.30% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64 3.94% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_syscall_64 3.37% sysbench libpthread-2.22.so [.] __lll_unlock_elision 3.32% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __audit_syscall_exit 2.91% sysbench [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __getnstimeofday64 Note the additional overhead from read_tsc which goes from 0% to 5.95%. This is on a single-socket E3-1230 but similar overheads have been measured on an older machine which the patch also eliminates. The patch in question has no explanation as to why a fully-accurate timestamp is required and is likely an oversight. Using a coarser, but monotically increasing, timestamp the overhead can be eliminated. While it can be worked around by configuring or disabling audit, it's tricky enough to detect that a kernel fix is justified. With this patch, we see the following; sysbenchthread 4.9.0 4.12.0 4.12.0 vanilla vanilla coarse-v1r1 Amean 1 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.66 ( -11.42%) 1.51 ( -1.34%) Amean 3 1.48 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.45%) 1.50 ( -0.96%) Amean 5 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.67 ( -12.31%) 1.51 ( -1.83%) Amean 7 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.66 ( -11.72%) 1.50 ( -0.67%) Amean 12 1.48 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.57%) 1.52 ( -2.89%) Amean 16 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.13%) 1.51 ( -1.73%) The benchmark is reporting the time required for different thread counts to lock/unlock a private mutex which, while dense, demonstrates the syscall overhead. This is showing that 4.12 took a 11-12% hit but the overhead is almost eliminated by the patch. While the variance is not reported here, it's well within the noise with the patch applied.
