Unfortunately, while commit 4a928436 ("audit: correctly record file
names with different path name types") fixed a problem where we were
not recording filenames, it created a new problem by attempting to use
these file names after they had been freed. This patch resolves the
issue by creating a copy of the filename which the audit subsystem
frees after it is done with the string.
At some point it would be nice to resolve this issue with refcounts,
or something similar, instead of having to allocate/copy strings, but
that is almost surely beyond the scope of a -rcX patch so we'll defer
that for later. On the plus side, only audit users should be impacted
by the string copying.

A regression was caused by commit 780a7654cee8:
audit: Make testing for a valid loginuid explicit.
(which in turn attempted to fix a regression caused by e1760bd)
When audit_krule_to_data() fills in the rules to get a listing, there was a
missing clause to convert back from AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to AUDIT_LOGINUID.
This broke userspace by not returning the same information that was sent and
expected.
The rule:
auditctl -a exit,never -F auid=-1
gives:
auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,never f24=0 syscall=all
when it should give:
LIST_RULES: exit,never auid=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=all
Tag it so that it is reported the same way it was set. Create a new
private flags audit_krule field (pflags) to store it that won't interact with
the public one from the API.

There is a problem with the audit system when multiple audit records
are created for the same path, each with a different path name type.
The root cause of the problem is in __audit_inode() when an exact
match (both the path name and path name type) is not found for a
path name record; the existing code creates a new path name record,
but it never sets the path name in this record, leaving it NULL.
This patch corrects this problem by assigning the path name to these
newly created records.
There are many ways to reproduce this problem, but one of the
easiest is the following (assuming auditd is running):
# mkdir /root/tmp/test
# touch /root/tmp/test/567
# auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/root/tmp/test
# touch /root/tmp/test/567
Afterwards, or while the commands above are running, check the audit
log and pay special attention to the PATH records. A faulty kernel
will display something like the following for the file creation:
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): arch=c000003e syscall=2
success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"
type=CWD msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): cwd="/root/tmp"
type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=0 name="test/"
inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT
type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=1 name=(null)
inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL
type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=2 name=(null)
inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL
While a patched kernel will show the following:
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): arch=c000003e syscall=2
success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"
type=CWD msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): cwd="/root/tmp"
type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=0 name="test/"

type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=1 name="test/567"

Eric Paris explains: Since kauditd_send_multicast_skb() gets called in
audit_log_end(), which can come from any context (aka even a sleeping context)
GFP_KERNEL can't be used. Since the audit_buffer knows what context it should
use, pass that down and use that.

Commit f1dc4867 ("audit: anchor all pid references in the initial pid
namespace") introduced a find_vpid() call when adding/removing audit
rules with PID/PPID filters; unfortunately this is problematic as
find_vpid() only works if there is a task with the associated PID
alive on the system. The following commands demonstrate a simple
reproducer.
# auditctl -D
# auditctl -l
# autrace /bin/true
# auditctl -l
This patch resolves the problem by simply using the PID provided by
the user without any additional validation, e.g. no calls to check to
see if the task/PID exists.

The version field defined in the audit status structure was found to have
limitations in terms of its expressibility of features supported. This is
distict from the get/set features call to be able to command those features
that are present.
Converting this field from a version number to a feature bitmap will allow
distributions to selectively backport and support certain features and will
allow upstream to be able to deprecate features in the future. It will allow
userspace clients to first query the kernel for which features are actually
present and supported. Currently, EINVAL is returned rather than EOPNOTSUP,
which isn't helpful in determining if there was an error in the command, or if
it simply isn't supported yet. Past features are not represented by this
bitmap, but their use may be converted to EOPNOTSUP if needed in the future.
Since "version" is too generic to convert with a #define, use a union in the
struct status, introducing the member "feature_bitmap" unionized with
"version".
Convert existing AUDIT_VERSION_* macros over to AUDIT_FEATURE_BITMAP*
counterparts, leaving the former for backwards compatibility.

Audit rules disappear when an inode they watch is evicted from the cache.
This is likely not what we want.
The guilty commit is "fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core",
which didn't take into account that audit_tree adds watches with a zero
mask.
Adding any mask should fix this.

When task->comm is passed directly to audit_log_untrustedstring() without
getting a copy or using the task_lock, there is a race that could happen that
would output a NULL (\0) in the output string that would effectively truncate
the rest of the report text after the comm= field in the audit, losing fields.
Use get_task_comm() to get a copy while acquiring the task_lock to prevent
this and to prevent the result from being a mixture of old and new values of
comm.

Report:
Looking at your example code in
http://people.redhat.com/rbriggs/audit-multicast-listen/audit-multicast-listen.c,
it seems that nlmsg_len field in the received messages is supposed to
contain the length of the header + payload, but it is always set to the
size of the header only, i.e. 16. The example program works, because
the printf format specifies the minimum width, not "precision", so it
simply prints out the payload until the first zero byte. This isn't too
much of a problem, but precludes the use of recvmmsg, iiuc?
(gdb) p *(struct nlmsghdr*)nlh
$14 = {nlmsg_len = 16, nlmsg_type = 1100, nlmsg_flags = 0, nlmsg_seq = 0, nlmsg_pid = 9910}
The only time nlmsg_len would have been updated was at audit_buffer_alloc()
inside audit_log_start() and never updated after. It should arguably be done
in audit_log_vformat(), but would be more efficient in audit_log_end().

This patch defines syscall_get_arch() for the superh platform. It does
so in both syscall_32.h and syscall_64.h. I'm not certain if the
implementation in syscall_64.h couldn't just be used in syscall.h as I
can't really track the setting of CONFIG_64BIT...
This way is safe, but we might be able to combine these if a superh
person were able to review...

- TLBs must be flushed after the old mappings are removed by the DMA
mapping code, but before the new mappings are established.
- An off-by-one entry error in the Keystone LPAE setup code.
Fixes include:
- ensuring that the identity mapping for LPAE does not remove the
kernel image from the identity map.
- preventing userspace from trapping into kgdb.
- fixing a preemption issue in the Intel iwmmxt code.
- fixing a build error with nommu.
Other changes include:
- Adding a note about which areas of memory are expected to be
accessible while the identity mapping tables are in place"

The kgdb breakpoint hooks (kgdb_brk_fn and kgdb_compiled_brk_fn)
should only be entered when a kgdb break instruction is executed
from the kernel. Otherwise, if kgdb is enabled, a userspace program
can cause the kernel to drop into the debugger by executing either
KGDB_BREAKINST or KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK.

Add a note about the usage of the identity mapping; we do not support
accesses outside of the identity map region and kernel image while a
CPU is using the identity map. This is because the identity mapping
may overwrite vmalloc space, IO mappings, the vectors pages, etc.

Pull x86 fix from Peter Anvin:
"A single fix to not invoke the espfix code on Xen PV, as it turns out
to oops the guest when invoked after all. This patch leaves some
amount of dead code, in particular unnecessary initialization of the
espfix stacks when they won't be used, but in the interest of keeping
the patch minimal that cleanup can wait for the next cycle"
