Subject: [PATCH v6 1/1] audit: Record fanotify access control decisions

Hello,

The fanotify interface allows user space daemons to make access control decisions. Under common criteria requirements, we need to optionally record decisions based on policy. This patch adds a bit mask, FAN_AUDIT, that a user space daemon can 'or' into the response decision which will tell the kernel that it made a decision and record it.

It would be used something like this in user space code:

  response.response = FAN_DENY | FAN_AUDIT;
  write(fd, &response, sizeof(struct fanotify_response));

When the syscall ends, the audit system will record the decision as a AUDIT_FANOTIFY auxiliary record to denote that the reason this event occurred is the result of an access control decision from fanotify rather than DAC or MAC policy.

A sample event looks like this:

type=PATH msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): item=0 name="./evil-ls" inode=1319561 dev=fc:03 mode=0100755 ouid=1000 ogid=1000 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL type=CWD msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): cwd="/home/sgrubb" type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-1 a0=32cb3fca90 a1=0 a2=43 a3=8 items=1 ppid=901 pid=959 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=pts1 ses=3 comm="bash" exe="/usr/bin/bash" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:
s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)
type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): resp=2

Prior to using the audit flag, the developer needs to call fanotify_init or'ing in FAN_ENABLE_AUDIT to ensure that the kernel supports auditing. The calling process must also have the CAP_AUDIT_WRITE capability.

* This v6 update adds empty inline audit_fanotify function for when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not defined.
