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.

Pull audit update from Paul Moore: "This is one of the larger audit patchsets in recent history, consisting of eight patches and almost 400 lines of changes. The bulk of the patchset is the new "audit by executable" functionality which allows admins to set an audit watch based on the executable on disk. Prior to this, admins could only track an application by PID, which has some obvious limitations. Beyond the new functionality we also have some refcnt fixes and a few minor cleanups" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: fixup: audit: implement audit by executable audit: implement audit by executable audit: clean simple fsnotify implementation audit: use macros for unset inode and device values audit: make audit_del_rule() more robust audit: fix uninitialized variable in audit_add_rule() audit: eliminate unnecessary extra layer of watch parent references audit: eliminate unnecessary extra layer of watch references
This adds the ability audit the actions of a not-yet-running process. This patch implements the ability to filter on the executable path. Instead of just hard coding the ino and dev of the executable we care about at the moment the rule is inserted into the kernel, use the new audit_fsnotify infrastructure to manage this dynamically. This means that if the filename does not yet exist but the containing directory does, or if the inode in question is unlinked and creat'd (aka updated) the rule will just continue to work. If the containing directory is moved or deleted or the filesystem is unmounted, the rule is deleted automatically. A future enhancement would be to have the rule survive across directory disruptions. This is a heavily modified version of a patch originally submitted by Eric Paris with some ideas from Peter Moody.

There's the fix from Anton for the "BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:134!" problem. An i2c driver for powernv. This is acked by Wolfram Sang, and he asked that we take it through the powerpc tree. A fix for audit from rgb at Red Hat, acked by Paul Moore who is one of the audit maintainers. A patch from Ben to export the symbol map of our OPAL firmware as a sysfs file, so that tools can use it.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "Two small patches from the audit next branch; only one of which has any real significant code changes, the other is simply a MAINTAINERS update for audit. The single code patch is pretty small and rather straightforward, it changes the audit "version" number reported to userspace from an integer to a bitmap which is used to indicate the functionality of the running kernel. This really doesn't have much impact on the kernel, but it will make life easier for the audit userspace folks. Thankfully we were still on a version number which allowed us to do this without breaking userspace" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: convert status version to a feature bitmap audit: add Paul Moore to the MAINTAINERS entry
Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE variant. Without this, perf trace and auditctl fail. Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE. Since 32-bit PPC LE is not supported by audit, don't advertise it in AUDIT_ARCH_PPC* variants.

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.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris: "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic problem. We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the syscall... For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch) So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical syscall entry. The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm field. Removing some dead functions and structs. Make some things static. Really minor stuff" * git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/audit: (31 commits) audit: rename audit_log_remove_rule to disambiguate for trees audit: cull redundancy in audit_rule_change audit: WARN if audit_rule_change called illegally audit: put rule existence check in canonical order next: openrisc: Fix build audit: get comm using lock to avoid race in string printing audit: remove open_arg() function that is never used audit: correct AUDIT_GET_FEATURE return message type audit: set nlmsg_len for multicast messages. audit: use union for audit_field values since they are mutually exclusive audit: invalid op= values for rules audit: use atomic_t to simplify audit_serial() kernel/audit.c: use ARRAY_SIZE instead of sizeof/sizeof[0] audit: reduce scope of audit_log_fcaps audit: reduce scope of audit_net_id audit: arm64: Remove the audit arch argument to audit_syscall_entry arm64: audit: Add audit hook in syscall_trace_enter/exit() audit: x86: drop arch from __audit_syscall_entry() interface sparc: implement is_32bit_task sparc: properly conditionalize use of TIF_32BIT ...
For all arches which support audit implement syscall_get_arch() They are all pretty easy and straight forward, stolen from how the call to audit_syscall_entry() determines the arch.
