This shows that the skb allocated in audit_log_start() and queued
onto skb_list is never freed.
In audit_log_end(), each skb is dequeued from skb_list and passed
to __audit_log_end(). However, when the audit rate limit is exceeded,
__audit_log_end() simply prints "rate limit exceeded" and returns
without processing the skb. Since the skb is already removed from
skb_list, audit_buffer_free() cannot free it later, leading to a
memory leak.
Fix this by freeing the skb when the rate limit is exceeded.

When audit is enabled in a kernel build, and there are no LSMs active

the string. The allocation information is necessary because LSMs have
different policies regarding the lifecycle of these strings. SELinux
allocates and destroys them on each use, whereas Smack provides a pointer

Update security_release_secctx() to use the lsm_context instead of a
(char *, len) pair. Change its callers to do likewise. The LSMs
supporting this hook have had comments added to remind the developer
that there is more work to be done.
The BPF security module provides all LSM hooks. While there has yet to
be a known instance of a BPF configuration that uses security contexts,
the possibility is real. In the existing implementation there is
potential for multiple frees in that case.

For single-thread applications, the process id (pid) and the thread
group id (tgid) are the same. However, on multi-thread applications,
task_pid_nr() returns the current thread id (user-space's TID), while
task_tgid_nr() returns the main thread id (user-space's PID). Since
the users are more interested in the process id (pid), rather than the
thread id (tid), this patch converts these callers to the correct method.

When auditd_set sets the auditd_conn pointer, audit messages can
immediately be put on the socket by other kernel threads. If the backlog
is large or the rate is high, this can immediately fill the socket
buffer. If the audit daemon requested an ACK for this operation, a full
socket buffer causes the ACK to get dropped, also setting ENOBUFS on the
socket.
To avoid this race and ensure ACKs get through, fast-track the ACK in
this specific case to ensure it is sent before auditd_conn is set.

When an admin enables audit at early boot via the "audit=1" kernel
command line the audit queue behavior is slightly different; the
audit subsystem goes to greater lengths to avoid dropping records,
which unfortunately can result in problems when the audit daemon is
forcibly stopped for an extended period of time.
This patch makes a number of changes designed to improve the audit
queuing behavior so that leaving the audit daemon in a stopped state
for an extended period does not cause a significant impact to the
system.
- kauditd_send_queue() is now limited to looping through the
passed queue only once per call. This not only prevents the
function from looping indefinitely when records are returned
to the current queue, it also allows any recovery handling in
kauditd_thread() to take place when kauditd_send_queue()
returns.
- Transient netlink send errors seen as -EAGAIN now cause the
record to be returned to the retry queue instead of going to
the hold queue. The intention of the hold queue is to store,
perhaps for an extended period of time, the events which led
up to the audit daemon going offline. The retry queue remains
a temporary queue intended to protect against transient issues
between the kernel and the audit daemon.
- The retry queue is now limited by the audit_backlog_limit
setting, the same as the other queues. This allows admins
to bound the size of all of the audit queues on the system.
- kauditd_rehold_skb() now returns records to the end of the
hold queue to ensure ordering is preserved in the face of
recent changes to kauditd_send_queue().

If the audit daemon were ever to get stuck in a stopped state the
kernel's kauditd_thread() could get blocked attempting to send audit
records to the userspace audit daemon. With the kernel thread
blocked it is possible that the audit queue could grow unbounded as
certain audit record generating events must be exempt from the queue
limits else the system enter a deadlock state.
This patch resolves this problem by lowering the kernel thread's
socket sending timeout from MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT to HZ/10 and tweaks
the kauditd_send_queue() function to better manage the various audit
queues when connection problems occur between the kernel and the
audit daemon. With this patch, the backlog may temporarily grow
beyond the defined limits when the audit daemon is stopped and the
system is under heavy audit pressure, but kauditd_thread() will
continue to make progress and drain the queues as it would for other
connection problems. For example, with the audit daemon put into a
stopped state and the system configured to audit every syscall it
was still possible to shutdown the system without a kernel panic,
deadlock, etc.; granted, the system was slow to shutdown but that is
to be expected given the extreme pressure of recording every syscall.
The timeout value of HZ/10 was chosen primarily through
experimentation and this developer's "gut feeling". There is likely
no one perfect value, but as this scenario is limited in scope (root
privileges would be needed to send SIGSTOP to the audit daemon), it
is likely not worth exposing this as a tunable at present. This can
always be done at a later date if it proves necessary.

not bound by the same audit queue throttling as the other tasks on

This patch attempts to restore some balance to the system when under

The security_task_getsecid_subj() LSM hook invites misuse by allowing
callers to specify a task even though the hook is only safe when the

argument to the hook, requiring LSM implementations to use the
current task. While we are changing the hook declaration we also
rename the function to security_current_getsecid_subj() in an effort
to reinforce that the hook captures the subjective credentials of the

Of the three LSMs that implement the security_task_getsecid() LSM
hook, all three LSMs provide the task's objective security
credentials. This turns out to be unfortunate as most of the hook's
callers seem to expect the task's subjective credentials, although
a small handful of callers do correctly expect the objective
credentials.
This patch is the first step towards fixing the problem: it splits
the existing security_task_getsecid() hook into two variants, one
for the subjective creds, one for the objective creds.
void security_task_getsecid_subj(struct task_struct *p,
u32 *secid);
void security_task_getsecid_obj(struct task_struct *p,
u32 *secid);
While this patch does fix all of the callers to use the correct
variant, in order to keep this patch focused on the callers and to
ease review, the LSMs continue to use the same implementation for
both hooks. The net effect is that this patch should not change
the behavior of the kernel in any way, it will be up to the latter
LSM specific patches in this series to change the hook
implementations and return the correct credentials.

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, open coding this in audit_log_start().
The proctitle context and dummy checks are pointless since the
proctitle record will not be printed if no syscall records are printed.
The fds array is reset to -1 after the first syscall to indicate it
isn't valid any more, but was never set to -1 when the context was
allocated to indicate it wasn't yet valid.
Check ctx->pwd in audit_log_name().
The audit_inode* functions can be called without going through
getname_flags() or getname_kernel() that sets audit_names and cwd, so
set the cwd in audit_alloc_name() if it has not already been done so due to
audit_names being valid and purge all other audit_getcwd() calls.
Revert the LSM dump_common_audit_data() LSM_AUDIT_DATA_* cases from the
ghak96 patch since they are no longer necessary due to cwd coverage in
audit_alloc_name().
Thanks to bauen1 <j2468h@googlemail.com> for reporting LSM situations in
which context->cwd is not valid, inadvertantly fixed by the ghak96 patch.

"ERROR: do not initialise globals/statics to 0"
To fix this, audit_sig_sid is uninitialized
As this is stored in the .bss section,
the compiler can initialize the variable automatically.

Variables sig_pid, audit_sig_uid and audit_sig_sid
are only used in the audit.c file across the kernel
Hence it appears no reason for declaring them as globals
This patch removes their global declarations from the .h file
and change them into static in the .c file.

"Aside from some smaller bug fixes, here are the highlights:
- add a new backlog wait metric to the audit status message, this is
intended to help admins determine how long processes have been
waiting for the audit backlog queue to clear
- generate audit records for nftables configuration changes
- generate CWD audit records for for the relevant LSM audit records"

"One small audit fix that you can hopefully merge before v5.8 is
released. Unfortunately it is a revert of a patch that went in during
the v5.7 window and we just recently started to see some bug reports
relating to that commit.
We are working on a proper fix, but I'm not yet clear on when that
will be ready and we need to fix the v5.7 kernels anyway, so in the
interest of time a revert seemed like the best solution right now"

revert: 1320a4052e ("audit: trigger accompanying records when no rules present")
Unfortunately the commit listed in the subject line above failed
to ensure that the task's audit_context was properly initialized/set
before enabling the "accompanying records". Depending on the
situation, the resulting audit_context could have invalid values in
some of it's fields which could cause a kernel panic/oops when the
task/syscall exists and the audit records are generated.
We will revisit the original patch, with the necessary fixes, in a
future kernel but right now we just want to fix the kernel panic
with the least amount of added risk.

In environments where the preservation of audit events and predictable
usage of system memory are prioritized, admins may use a combination of
--backlog_wait_time and -b options at the risk of degraded performance
resulting from backlog waiting. In some cases, this risk may be
preferred to lost events or unbounded memory usage. Ideally, this risk
can be mitigated by making adjustments when backlog waiting is detected.
However, detection can be difficult using the currently available
metrics. For example, an admin attempting to debug degraded performance
may falsely believe a full backlog indicates backlog waiting. It may
turn out the backlog frequently fills up but drains quickly.
To make it easier to reliably track degraded performance to backlog
waiting, this patch makes the following changes:
Add a new field backlog_wait_time_total to the audit status reply.
Initialize this field to zero. Add to this field the total time spent
by the current task on scheduled timeouts while the backlog limit is
exceeded. Reset field to zero upon request via AUDIT_SET.

audit_log_string() was inteded to be an internal audit function and
since there are only two internal uses, remove them. Purge all external
uses of it by restructuring code to use an existing audit_log_format()
or using audit_log_format().
