      audit: log failed attempts to change audit_pid configuration · 935c9e7f
      Richard Guy Briggs authored
      Failed attempts to change the audit_pid configuration are not presently
      logged.  One case is an attempt to starve an old auditd by starting up
      a new auditd when the old one is still alive and active.  The other
      case is an attempt to orphan a new auditd when an old auditd shuts
      down.
      
      Log both as AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE messages with failure result.

      audit: stop an old auditd being starved out by a new auditd · 133e1e5a
      Richard Guy Briggs authored
      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.

      mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep... · d0164adc

      mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to 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.

      audit: try harder to send to auditd upon netlink failure · 32a1dbae
      Richard Guy Briggs authored
      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 34eab0a7 ("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.

      netlink/genetlink: pass network namespace to bind/unbind · 023e2cfa
      Johannes Berg authored
      Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most
      part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only
      makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace.
      
      To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket
      to the bind/unbind functions.
      
      Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any
      bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected.
      This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a
      different namespace will never receive any notifications from such
      a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also
      possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it
      would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any
      kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid
      clients like that.

      audit: use supplied gfp_mask from audit_buffer in kauditd_send_multicast_skb · 54dc77d9
      Richard Guy Briggs authored
      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.

      audit: convert status version to a feature bitmap · 0288d718
      Richard Guy Briggs authored
      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.
