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() audit: move kaudit thread start from auditd registration to kaudit init (#2) audit: add support for session ID user filter audit: fix formatting of AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE events audit: skip sessionid sentinel value when auto-incrementing audit: tame initialization warning len_abuf in audit_log_execve_info audit: less stack usage for /proc/*/loginuid
2016-12-14audit: use proper refcount locking on audit_sockRichard Guy Briggs1-6/+24
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.

2016-12-14audit: don't ever sleep on a command record/messagePaul Moore1-5/+13
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. This patch allows tasks to bypass any queue restrictions if they are logging a command record/message. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
2016-12-14audit: handle a clean auditd shutdown with gracePaul Moore1-0/+6

2016-12-14audit: rework audit_log_start()Paul Moore1-56/+36
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. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
2016-12-14audit: rework the audit queue handlingPaul Moore1-121/+226
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.

2016-11-18netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned intAlexey Dobriyan1-1/+1
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.

2016-01-25audit: stop an old auditd being starved out by a new auditdRichard Guy Briggs1-1/+15
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. V3: Switch audit message type from 1000 to 1300 block.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman1-3/+3
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 now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

2015-11-04audit: try harder to send to auditd upon netlink failureRichard Guy Briggs1-5/+22
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.

2015-02-23audit: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_fileDavidlohr Bueso1-8/+14
The mm->exe_file is currently serialized with mmap_sem (shared) in order to both safely (1) read the file and (2) audit it via audit_log_d_path(). Good users will, on the other hand, make use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissapear underneath us. Additionally, upon NULL return of get_mm_exe_file, we also call audit_log_format(ab, " exe=(null)").
