Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"The audit changes for v4.11 are relatively small compared to what we
did for v4.10, both in terms of size and impact.
- two patches from Steve tweak the formatting for some of the audit
records to make them more consistent with other audit records.
- three patches from Richard record the name of a module on module
load, fix the logging of sockaddr information when using
socketcall() on 32-bit systems, and add the ability to reset
audit's lost record counter.
- my lone patch just fixes an annoying style nit that I was reminded
about by one of Richard's patches.
All these patches pass our test suite"
* 'stable-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
audit: remove unnecessary curly braces from switch/case statements
audit: log module name on init_module
audit: log 32-bit socketcalls
audit: add feature audit_lost reset
audit: Make AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event normalized
audit: Make AUDIT_KERNEL event conform to the specification
|
|
Add a method to reset the audit_lost value.
An AUDIT_SET message with the AUDIT_STATUS_LOST flag set by itself
will return a positive value repesenting the current audit_lost value
and reset the counter to zero. If AUDIT_STATUS_LOST is not the
only flag set, the reset command will be ignored. The value sent with
the command is ignored. The return value will be the +ve lost value at
reset time.
An AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE message will be queued to the listening audit
daemon. The message will be a standard CONFIG_CHANGE message with the
fields "lost=0" and "old=" with the latter containing the value of
audit_lost at reset time.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger
pile for v4.10.
The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue
to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread
that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits
the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd).
While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of
other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far
things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us
to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid
disabling irq for netns id").
The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented
in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering
support"
* 'stable-4.10' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
audit: use proper refcount locking on audit_sock
netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id
audit: don't ever sleep on a command record/message
audit: handle a clean auditd shutdown with grace
audit: wake up kauditd_thread after auditd registers
audit: rework audit_log_start()
audit: rework the audit queue handling
audit: rename the queues and kauditd related functions
audit: queue netlink multicast sends just like we do for unicast sends
audit: fixup audit_init()

Resetting audit_sock appears to be racy.
audit_sock was being copied and dereferenced without using a refcount on
the source sock.
Bump the refcount on the underlying sock when we store a refrence in
audit_sock and release it when we reset audit_sock. audit_sock
modification needs the audit_cmd_mutex.

Sleeping on a command record/message in audit_log_start() could slow
something, e.g. auditd, from doing something important, e.g. clean
shutdown, which could present problems on a heavily loaded system.

logging a command record/message.

The backlog queue handling in audit_log_start() is a little odd with
some questionable design decisions, this patch attempts to rectify
this with the following changes:
* Never make auditd wait, ignore any backlog limits as we need auditd
awake so it can drain the backlog queue.
* When we hit a backlog limit and start dropping records, don't wake
all the tasks sleeping on the backlog, that's silly. Instead, let
kauditd_thread() take care of waking everyone once it has had a chance
to drain the backlog queue.
* Don't keep a global backlog timeout countdown, make it per-task. A
per-task timer means we won't have all the sleeping tasks waking at
the same time and hammering on an already stressed backlog queue.

The audit record backlog queue has always been a bit of a mess, and
the moving the multicast send into kauditd_thread() from
audit_log_end() only makes things worse. This patch attempts to fix
the backlog queue with a better design that should hold up better
under load and have less of a performance impact at syscall
invocation time.
While it looks like there is a log going on in this patch, the main
change is the move from a single backlog queue to three queues:
* A queue for holding records generated from audit_log_end() that
haven't been consumed by kauditd_thread() (audit_queue).
* A queue for holding records that have been sent via multicast but
had a temporary failure when sending via unicast and need a resend
(audit_retry_queue).
* A queue for holding records that haven't been sent via unicast
because no one is listening (audit_hold_queue).
Special care is taken in this patch to ensure that the proper
record ordering is preserved, e.g. we send everything in the hold
queue first, then the retry queue, and finally the main queue.

Sending audit netlink multicast messages is bad for all the same
reasons that sending audit netlink unicast messages is bad, so this
patch reworks things so that we don't do the multicast send in
audit_log_end(), we do it from the dedicated kauditd_thread thread just
as we do for unicast messages.

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.
There are 2 reasons to do so:
1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.
2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.
"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.
void f(long *p, int i)
{
g(p[i]);
}
roughly translates to
movsx rsi, esi
mov rdi, [rsi+...]
call g
MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.
Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:
static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
{
...
ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
...
}
And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.
Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]
However, overall balance is in negative direction:

Nothing prevents a new auditd starting up and replacing a valid
audit_pid when an old auditd is still running, effectively starving out
the old auditd since audit_pid no longer points to the old valid
auditd.
If no message to auditd has been attempted since auditd died
unnaturally or got killed, audit_pid will still indicate it is alive.
There isn't an easy way to detect if an old auditd is still running on
the existing audit_pid other than attempting to send a message to see
if it fails. An -ECONNREFUSED almost certainly means it disappeared
and can be replaced. Other errors are not so straightforward and may
indicate transient problems that will resolve themselves and the old
auditd will recover. Yet others will likely need manual intervention
for which a new auditd will not solve the problem.
Send a new message type (AUDIT_REPLACE) to the old auditd containing a
u32 with the PID of the new auditd. If the audit replace message
succeeds (or doesn't fail with certainty), fail to register the new
auditd and return an error (-EEXIST).
This is expected to make the patch preventing an old auditd orphaning a
new auditd redundant.

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may

There are several reports of the kernel losing contact with auditd when
it is, in fact, still running. When this happens, kernel syslogs show:
"audit: *NO* daemon at audit_pid=<pid>"
although auditd is still running, and is apparently happy, listening on
the netlink socket. The pid in the "*NO* daemon" message matches the pid
of the running auditd process. Restarting auditd solves this.
The problem appears to happen randomly, and doesn't seem to be strongly
correlated to the rate of audit events being logged. The problem
happens fairly regularly (every few days), but not yet reproduced to
order.
On production kernels, BUG_ON() is a no-op, so any error will trigger
this.
Commit 34eab0a7cd45 ("audit: prevent an older auditd shutdown from
orphaning a newer auditd startup") eliminates one possible cause. This
isn't the case here, since the PID in the error message and the PID of
the running auditd match.
The primary expected cause of error here is -ECONNREFUSED when the audit
daemon goes away, when netlink_getsockbyportid() can't find the auditd
portid entry in the netlink audit table (or there is no receive
function). If -EPERM is returned, that situation isn't likely to be
resolved in a timely fashion without administrator intervention. In
both cases, reset the audit_pid. This does not rule out a race
condition. SELinux is expected to return zero since this isn't an INET
or INET6 socket. Other LSMs may have other return codes. Log the error
code for better diagnosis in the future.
In the case of -ENOMEM, the situation could be temporary, based on local
or general availability of buffers. -EAGAIN should never happen since
the netlink audit (kernel) socket is set to MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT.
-ERESTARTSYS and -EINTR are not expected since this kernel thread is not
expected to receive signals. In these cases (or any other unexpected
ones for now), report the error and re-schedule the thread, retrying up
to 5 times.
v2:
Removed BUG_ON().
Moved comma in pr_*() statements.
Removed audit_strerror() text.

Pull audit update from Paul Moore:
"This is one of the larger audit patchsets in recent history,
consisting of eight patches and almost 400 lines of changes.
The bulk of the patchset is the new "audit by executable"
functionality which allows admins to set an audit watch based on the
executable on disk. Prior to this, admins could only track an
application by PID, which has some obvious limitations.
Beyond the new functionality we also have some refcnt fixes and a few
minor cleanups"

fixup: audit: implement audit by executable
audit: implement audit by executable

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
"Seven audit patches for v4.1, all bug fixes.
The largest, and perhaps most significant commit helps resolve some
memory pressure issues related to the inode cache and audit, there are
also a few small commits which help resolve some timing issues with
the audit log queue, and the rest fall into the always popular "code
clean-up" category.
In general, nothing really substantial, just a nice set of maintenance
patches"
