The backlog cannot be consumed when audit_log_start is running on auditd
even if audit_log_start calls wait_for_auditd to consume it.
The situation is the deadlock because only auditd can consume the backlog.
If the other process needs to send the backlog, it can be also stopped
by the deadlock.
So, audit_log_start running on auditd should not stop.
You can see the deadlock with the following reproducer:
# auditctl -a exit,always -S all
# reboot

We do not need to hold the audit_cmd_mutex for this family of cases. The
possible exception to this is the call to audit_filter_user(), so drop the lock
immediately after. To help in fixing the race we are trying to avoid, make
sure that nothing called by audit_filter_user() calls audit_log_start(). In
particular, watch out for *_audit_rule_match().
This fix will take care of systemd and anything USING audit. It still means
that we could race with something configuring audit and auditd shutting down.

There have been reports of auditd restarts resulting in kaudit not being able
to find a newly registered auditd. It results in reports such as:
kernel: [ 2077.233573] audit: *NO* daemon at audit_pid=1614
kernel: [ 2077.234712] audit: audit_lost=97 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=320
kernel: [ 2077.234718] audit: auditd disappeared
(previously mis-spelled "dissapeared")
One possible cause is a race between the shutdown of an older auditd and a
newer one. If the newer one sets the daemon pid to itself in kauditd before
the older one has cleared the daemon pid, the newer daemon pid will be erased.
This could be caused by an automated system, or by manual intervention, but in
either case, there is no use in having the older daemon clear the daemon pid
reference since its old pid is no longer being referenced. This patch will
prevent that specific case, returning an error of EACCES.
The case for preventing a newer auditd from registering itself if there is an
existing auditd is a more difficult case that is beyond the scope of this
patch.

The default audit_backlog_limit is 64. This was a reasonable limit at one time.
systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't
start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of
2. On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an
issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available. On a
system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that
history until auditd is able to drain the queue.
This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system
has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot.
One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to
avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them. This would
be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers.
Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default
based on the system type. An embedded system would get the current (or
smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might
get more.
None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to
see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel.
This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to
enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to
allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.

Use add_wait_queue_exclusive() in wait_for_auditd() to put the
thread on the wait queue. When kauditd dequeues an skb, all
of the waiting threads are waiting for the same resource, but
only one is going to get it, so there's no need to wake up
more than one waiter.

Only issue a wake_up in kauditd if the length of the skb queue is less than the

wake up, discover that the queue is still too long for them to proceed, and go
back to sleep. This results in wasted context switches and machine cycles.
kauditd_thread() is the only function that removes buffers from audit_skb_queue
so we can't race. If we did, the timeout in wait_for_auditd() would expire and
the waiting thread would continue.

...to make it clear what the intent behind each record's operation was.
In many cases you can infer this, based on the context of the syscall
and the result. In other cases it's not so obvious. For instance, in
the case where you have a file being renamed over another, you'll have
two different records with the same filename but different inode info.
By logging this information we can clearly tell which one was created

Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit
record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named
"new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"):
type=PATH msg=audit(1366128956.279:965): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new" inode=2138308 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023
This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for
"/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent
patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it
look more like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1366128765.989:13875): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.DJ1O8V3e4f/" inode=141 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023
While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we
have no record of the filename that the user tried to create.
This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates
an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the
create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record
will be updated with the correct inode info from the create.
This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708.
