If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Anton Blanchard commit cdee3904b4ce7c03d1013ed6dd704b43ae7fc2e9 upstream. Commit b05d8447e782 (audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archs) changed audit_syscall_entry to check for a dummy context before calling __audit_syscall_entry. Unfortunately the dummy context state is maintained in __audit_syscall_entry so once set it never gets cleared, even if the audit rules change. As a result, if there are no auditing rules when a process starts then it will never be subject to any rules added later. x86 doesn't see this because it has an assembly fast path that calls directly into __audit_syscall_entry. I noticed this issue when working on audit performance optimisations. I wrote a set of simple test cases available at: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/audit_tests.tar.gz 02_new_rule.py fails without the patch and passes with it. The test case clears all rules, starts a process, adds a rule then verifies the process produces a syscall audit record.
