Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Summary of the significant patches:
- Record information about binds/unbinds to the audit multicast
socket. This helps identify which processes have/had access to the

- Cleanup and add some additional information to the netfilter
configuration events collected by audit.
- Fix some of the audit error handling code so we don't leak network
namespace references"

Log information about programs connecting to and disconnecting from the
audit netlink multicast socket. This is needed so that during
investigations a security officer can tell who or what had access to the
audit trail. This helps to meet the FAU_SAR.2 requirement for Common
Criteria.

If audit_list_rules_send() fails when trying to create a new thread
to send the rules it also fails to cleanup properly, leaking a
reference to a net structure. This patch fixes the error patch and
renames audit_send_list() to audit_send_list_thread() to better
match its cousin, audit_send_reply_thread().

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.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"We've got two audit patches for the v5.7 merge window with a stellar
14 lines changed between the two patches. The patch descriptions are
far more lengthy than the patches themselves, which is a very good
thing for patches this size IMHO. 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).
The missing records often meant that we didn't have the necessary
context to understand what was going on when the event occurred"
* tag 'audit-pr-20200330' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit:
audit: trigger accompanying records when no rules present
audit: CONFIG_CHANGE don't log internal bookkeeping as an event
|
|
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.

When a process signals the audit daemon (shutdown, rotate, resume,
reconfig) but syscall auditing is not enabled, we still want to know the
identity of the process sending the signal to the audit daemon.
Move audit_signal_info() out of syscall auditing to general auditing but
create a new function audit_signal_info_syscall() to take care of the
syscall dependent parts for when syscall auditing is enabled.

Don't fetch fcaps when umount2 is called to avoid a process hang while
it waits for the missing resource to (possibly never) re-appear.
Note the comment above user_path_mountpoint_at():
* A umount is a special case for path walking. We're not actually interested
* in the inode in this situation, and ESTALE errors can be a problem. We
* simply want track down the dentry and vfsmount attached at the mountpoint
* and avoid revalidating the last component.
This can happen on ceph, cifs, 9p, lustre, fuse (gluster) or NFS.

Tie syscall information to all CONFIG_CHANGE calls since they are all a
result of user actions.
Exclude user records from syscall context:
Since the function audit_log_common_recv_msg() is shared by a number of
AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE and the entire range of AUDIT_USER_* record types,
and since the AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE message type has been converted to a
syscall accompanied record type, special-case the AUDIT_USER_* range of
messages so they remain standalone records.

The failure to add an audit rule due to audit locked gives no clue
what CONFIG_CHANGE operation failed.
Similarly the set operation is the only other operation that doesn't
give the "op=" field to indicate the action.
All other CONFIG_CHANGE records include an op= field to give a clue as
to what sort of configuration change is being executed.
Since these are the only CONFIG_CHANGE records that that do not have an
op= field, add them to bring them in line with the rest.
Old records:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1519812997.781:374): pid=610 uid=0 auid=0 ses=1 subj=... audit_enabled=2 res=0

Since the vast majority of files (99.993% on a typical system) have no
fcaps, display "0" instead of the full zero-padded 16 hex digits in the
two PATH record cap_f* fields to save netlink bandwidth and disk space.
Simply changing the format to %x won't work since the value is two (or
possibly more in the future) 32-bit hexadecimal values concatenated and
bits in higher order values will be misrepresented.
Passes audit-testsuite and userspace tools already work fine.

new ktime_get_coarse_ts64() function. Unfortunately this resulted
in incorrect timestamps, e.g. events stamped with the year 1969
despite it being 2018. This patch corrects this by using
ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64() just like the current_kernel_time64()
wrapper.

The AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE name is vague and misleading due to not describing
where or when the filter is applied and obsolete due to its available
filter fields having been expanded.
Userspace has already renamed it from AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE to
AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE without checking if it already exists. The
userspace maintainer assures that as long as it is set to the same value
it will not be a problem since the userspace code does not treat
compiler warnings as errors. If this policy changes then checks if it
already exists can be added at the same time.

the kernel panics very early in boot before the regular console is
initialized. Unless you have earlyprintk enabled, there is no
indication of what the problem is on the console.

Evidently the __mutex_owner() function was never intended for use
outside the core mutex code, so build a thing locking wrapper around
the mutex code which allows us to track the mutex owner.
One, arguably positive, side effect is that this allows us to hide
the audit_cmd_mutex inside of kernel/audit.c behind the lock/unlock
functions.

If there is a memory allocation error when trying to change an audit
kernel feature value, the ignored allocation error will trigger a NULL
pointer dereference oops on subsequent use of that pointer. Return
instead.
Passes audit-testsuite.

The function audit_log_secctx() is unused in the upstream kernel.
All it does is wrap another function that doesn't need wrapping.
It claims to give you the SELinux context, but that is not true if
you are using a different security module.

The API to end auditing has historically been for auditd to set the
pid to 0. This patch restores that functionality.

Use audit_set_enabled() to enable auditing during early boot. This
obviously won't emit an audit change record, but it will work anyway
and should help prevent in future problems by consolidating the
enable/disable code in one function.

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.

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

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.
