Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 15/15] audit: ensure that 'audit=1' actually enables audit for PID 1
Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2017 15:53:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171202155324.7846-15-alexander.levin@verizon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171202155324.7846-1-alexander.levin@verizon.com>

From: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>

[ Upstream commit 173743dd99a49c956b124a74c8aacb0384739a4c ]

Prior to this patch we enabled audit in audit_init(), which is too
late for PID 1 as the standard initcalls are run after the PID 1 task
is forked.  This means that we never allocate an audit_context (see
audit_alloc()) for PID 1 and therefore miss a lot of audit events
generated by PID 1.

This patch enables audit as early as possible to help ensure that when
PID 1 is forked it can allocate an audit_context if required.
