The audit entry filter has been long deprecated with userspace support finally removed in audit-v2.6.7 and plans to remove kernel support have existed since kernel-v2.6.31. Remove it. Since removing the audit entry filter, test for early return before setting up any context state. Passes audit-testsuite.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Another relatively small pull request for audit, nine patches total.
The only real new bit of functionality is the patch from Richard which
adds the ability to filter records based on the filesystem type.
The remainder are bug fixes and cleanups; the bug fix highlights
include:
- ensuring that we properly audit init/PID-1 (me)
- allowing the audit daemon to shutdown the kernel/auditd connection
cleanly by setting the audit PID to zero (Steve)"

Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of PATH records to be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL records on a few modules when the following rule was in place for startup: -a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load Provide a method to ignore these large number of PATH records from overwhelming the logs if they are not of interest. Introduce a new filter list "AUDIT_FILTER_FS", with a new field type AUDIT_FSTYPE, which keys off the filesystem 4-octet hexadecimal magic identifier to filter specific filesystem PATH records. An example rule would look like: -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x74726163 -F key=ignore_tracefs -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x64626720 -F key=ignore_debugfs Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable tracefs and debugfs on boot from production systems.

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. Signed-off-by: sgrubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Commit 2115bb250f26 ("audit: Use timespec64 to represent audit timestamps")
noted that audit timestamps were not y2038 safe and used a 64-bit
timestamp. In itself, this makes sense but the conversion was from
CURRENT_TIME to ktime_get_real_ts64() which is a heavier call to record
an accurate timestamp which is required in some, but not all, cases. The
impact is that when auditd is running without any rules that all syscalls
have higher overhead. This is visible in the sysbench-thread benchmark as
a 11.5% performance hit. That benchmark is dumb as rocks but it's also
visible in redis as an 8-10% hit on all operations which is of greater
concern. It is somewhat stupid of audit to track syscalls without any
rules related to syscalls but that is how it behaves.
The overhead can be directly measured with perf comparing 4.9 with 4.12

Note the additional overhead from read_tsc which goes from 0% to 5.95%.
This is on a single-socket E3-1230 but similar overheads have been measured
on an older machine which the patch also eliminates.
The patch in question has no explanation as to why a fully-accurate timestamp
is required and is likely an oversight. Using a coarser, but monotically
increasing, timestamp the overhead can be eliminated. While it can be
worked around by configuring or disabling audit, it's tricky enough to
detect that a kernel fix is justified. With this patch, we see the following;
sysbenchthread
4.9.0 4.12.0 4.12.0
vanilla vanilla coarse-v1r1
Amean 1 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.66 ( -11.42%) 1.51 ( -1.34%)
Amean 3 1.48 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.45%) 1.50 ( -0.96%)
Amean 5 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.67 ( -12.31%) 1.51 ( -1.83%)

Amean 12 1.48 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.57%) 1.52 ( -2.89%)
Amean 16 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.13%) 1.51 ( -1.73%)
The benchmark is reporting the time required for different thread counts to
lock/unlock a private mutex which, while dense, demonstrates the syscall
overhead. This is showing that 4.12 took a 11-12% hit but the overhead is
almost eliminated by the patch. While the variance is not reported here,
it's well within the noise with the patch applied.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Replace all uses of timespec by y2038 safe struct timespec64. Even though timespec is used here to represent timeouts, replace these with timespec64 so that it facilitates in verification by creating a y2038 safe kernel image that is free of timespec. The syscall interfaces themselves are not changed as part of the patch. They will be part of a different series.
