Sure, sorry. I’ll add them to the commit description (and the documentation patch at the end) for v8 – In the interest of asynchronous feedback, I’ve copied the relevant examples: AUDIT1420 IPE ctx_pid=229 ctx_op=EXECUTE ctx_hook=MMAP ctx_enforce=0 ctx_comm="grep" ctx_pathname="/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so" ctx_ino=532 ctx_dev=vda rule="DEFAULT op=EXECUTE action=DENY" AUDIT1420 IPE ctx_pid=229 ctx_op=EXECUTE ctx_hook=MMAP ctx_enforce=0 ctx_comm="grep" ctx_pathname="/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so" ctx_ino=532 ctx_dev=vda rule="DEFAULT action=DENY" AUDIT1420 IPE ctx_pid=253 ctx_op=EXECUTE ctx_hook=MMAP ctx_enforce=1 ctx_comm="anon" rule="DEFAULT op=EXECUTE action=DENY"These three audit records represent various types of results after evaluating the trust of a resource. The first two differ in the rule that was matched in IPE's policy, the first being an operation-specific default, the second being
a global default. The third is an example of what is audited when anonymous memory is blocked (as there is no way to verify the trust of an anonymous page). The remaining three events, AUDIT_TRUST_POLICY_LOAD (1421), AUDIT_TRUST_POLICY_ACTIVATE (1422), and AUDIT_TRUST_STATUS (1423) have this form:AUDIT1421 IPE policy_name="my-policy" policy_version=0.0.0 <hash_alg_name>=<hash> AUDIT1422 IPE policy_name="my-policy" policy_version=0.0.0 <hash_alg_name>=<hash>
AUDIT1423 IPE enforce=1 The 1421 (AUDIT_TRUST_POLICY_LOAD) event represents a new policy was loaded into the kernel, but not is not marked as the policy to enforce. The The 1422 (AUDIT_TRUST_POLICY_ACTIVATE) event represents a policy that was already loaded was made the enforcing policy.The 1423 (AUDIT_TRUST_STATUS) event represents a switch between permissive and
enforce, it is added in 08/16 (the following patch)
