[PATCH] log more info for directory entry change events
When an audit event involves changes to a directory entry, include
a PATH record for the directory itself. A few other notable changes:
- fixed audit_inode_child() hooks in fsnotify_move()
- removed unused flags arg from audit_inode()
- added audit log routines for logging a portion of a string
In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent
directories of paths specified in audit rules. When audit's inotify
event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the
filesystem event. If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its
filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that
inotify watch.
To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based
auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory. Given
a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:
passwd modified -- audit event logged
passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated
bar renamed -- rule removed
foo renamed -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to
the new location
Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem
objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance. This
patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this
situation.
The patch is relative to the audit git tree:
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary

[PATCH] update of IPC audit record cleanup
The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM
records as described in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html
and addresses the comments I received on the record field names.
To summarize, I made the following changes:
1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM
record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case.
This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl(). I could simplify the
code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean
that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record
without an IPC record and that seemed odd.
2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward
compatibility question.
3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record. It wasn't being
set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the
information isn't available. If we want the information in the IPC
record, more extensive changes will be necessary. Since it only
applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it
doesn't seem worth it.
4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record. This means that
the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed.
5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names. Replaced iuid and
igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record.
I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box. I believe it
applies cleanly on the latest kernel.

Just a few minor proposed updates. Only the last one will

Several AUDIT_SET functions return 'old' value, but only
return value <0 is checked for. So just return 0.
propagate audit_set_rate_limit and audit_set_backlog_limit

In audit_buffer_free, the audit_freelist_count was being
incremented even when we discard the return buffer, so
audit_freelist_count can end up wrong. This could cause
the actual freelist to shrink over time, eventually
threatening to degrate audit performance.

[PATCH] fix deadlocks in AUDIT_LIST/AUDIT_LIST_RULES
We should not send a pile of replies while holding audit_netlink_mutex
since we hold the same mutex when we receive commands. As the result,
we can get blocked while sending and sit there holding the mutex while
auditctl is unable to send the next command and get around to receiving
what we'd sent.
Solution: create skb and put them into a queue instead of sending;
once we are done, send what we've got on the list. The former can
be done synchronously while we are handling AUDIT_LIST or AUDIT_LIST_RULES;
we are holding audit_netlink_mutex at that point. The latter is done

I tracked this down to a problem with the function
bcm1480_timer_interrupt in the file sibyte/bcm1480/time.c. This
function calls ll_timer_interrupt for cpu0, and ll_local_timer_interrupt
for all cpus. However, both of these functions do process accounting.
Thus processes running on cpu0 end up with doubled times. This is very
obvious in a UP kernel where all processes run on cpu0.
The correct way to do this is to only call ll_local_timer interrupt if
this is not cpu0. This can be seen in the mips-board/generic/time.c
file, and also in the sibyte/sb1250/time.c file, both of which handle
this correctly. I fixed the bcm1480/time.c file by copying over the
correct code from the sb1250/time.c file.
With this fix, I now get sensible results.

[MIPS] Malta: Handle byteswapping hardare bug in big endian mode.
The SOC-it system controller running in big endian mode might forget
byteswapping when DMAing to the last word of physical memory. Fixed by
ignoring the last page of memory.
