[PATCH v4 0/4] Improved seccomp logging

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch set is the fourth revision of the following two previously
submitted patch sets:

v1: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1483375990-14948-1-git-send-email-tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
v1: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1483377999-15019-2-git-send-email-tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

v2: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1486100262-32391-1-git-send-email-tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

v3: Same patches as v4 but I copied and pasted an invalid address for the
    linux-api list when submitting the set.

The patch set aims to address some known deficiencies in seccomp's current
logging capabilities:

  1. Inability to log all filter actions.
  2. Inability to selectively enable filtering; e.g. devs want noisy logging,
     users want relative quiet.
  3. Consistent behavior with audit enabled and disabled.
  4. Inability to easily develop a filter due to the lack of a
     permissive/complain mode.

Changes since v3:
- No code changes. I had to resubmit the patch set after copying and
  pasting a bad address for the linux-api list.

Changes since v2 to address feedback from Kees:
- Patch 1
  + Log a warning when sysctl registration fails
  + Move comment describing SECCOMP_RET_*_NAME from PATCH 2
  + Document the actions_avail sysctl
- Patch 2
  + Inline seccomp_log()
  + Optimize logging for RET_ALLOW hot path
  + Use "{ }" for name buffer initialization
  + Make a copy of the ctl_table and only modify the copy
  + Rename max_action_to_log sysctl to log_max_action
  + Document the log_max_action sysctl
- Patch 3
  + Put some space between RET_LOG and RET_ALLOW for future actions
  + Separate the RET_ALLOW and RET_LOG cases in __seccomp_filter()
- Patch 4
  + Adjust the selftests for the updated RET_LOG value
