Deven Bowers f44554b506 audit,ipe: add IPE auditing support
Users of IPE require a way to identify when and why an operation fails,
allowing them to both respond to violations of policy and be notified
of potentially malicious actions on their systems with respect to IPE
itself.

This patch introduces 3 new audit events.

AUDIT_IPE_ACCESS(1420) indicates the result of an IPE policy evaluation
of a resource.
AUDIT_IPE_CONFIG_CHANGE(1421) indicates the current active IPE policy
has been changed to another loaded policy.
AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422) indicates a new IPE policy has been loaded
into the kernel.

This patch also adds support for success auditing, allowing users to
identify why an allow decision was made for a resource. However, it is
recommended to use this option with caution, as it is quite noisy.

Here are some examples of the new audit record types:

AUDIT_IPE_ACCESS(1420):

    audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
      pid=297 comm="sh" path="/root/vol/bin/hello" dev="tmpfs"
      ino=3897 rule="op=EXECUTE boot_verified=TRUE action=ALLOW"

    audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
      pid=299 comm="sh" path="/mnt/ipe/bin/hello" dev="dm-0"
      ino=2 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"

    audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
     pid=300 path="/tmp/tmpdp2h1lub/deny/bin/hello" dev="tmpfs"
      ino=131 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"

The above three records were generated when the active IPE policy only
allows binaries from the initramfs to run. The three identical `hello`
binary were placed at different locations, only the first hello from
the rootfs(initramfs) was allowed.

Field ipe_op followed by the IPE operation name associated with the log.

Field ipe_hook followed by the name of the LSM hook that triggered the IPE
event.

Field enforcing followed by the enforcement state of IPE. (it will be
introduced in the next commit)

Field pid followed by the pid of the process that triggered the IPE
event.

Field comm followed by the command line program name of the process that
triggered the IPE event.

Field path followed by the file's path name.

Field dev followed by the device name as found in /dev where the file is
from.
Note that for device mappers it will use the name `dm-X` instead of
the name in /dev/mapper.
For a file in a temp file system, which is not from a device, it will use
`tmpfs` for the field.
The implementation of this part is following another existing use case
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE in security/lsm_audit.c

Field ino followed by the file's inode number.

Field rule followed by the IPE rule made the access decision. The whole
rule must be audited because the decision is based on the combination of
all property conditions in the rule.

Along with the syscall audit event, user can know why a blocked
happened. For example:

    audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
      pid=2138 comm="bash" path="/mnt/ipe/bin/hello" dev="dm-0"
      ino=2 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"
    audit[1956]: SYSCALL arch=c000003e syscall=59
      success=no exit=-13 a0=556790138df0 a1=556790135390 a2=5567901338b0
      a3=ab2a41a67f4f1f4e items=1 ppid=147 pid=1956 auid=4294967295 uid=0
      gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts0
      ses=4294967295 comm="bash" exe="/usr/bin/bash" key=(null)

The above two records showed bash used execve to run "hello" and got
blocked by IPE. Note that the IPE records are always prior to a SYSCALL
record.

AUDIT_IPE_CONFIG_CHANGE(1421):

    audit: AUDIT1421
      old_active_pol_name="Allow_All" old_active_pol_version=0.0.0
      old_policy_digest=sha256:E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649
      new_active_pol_name="boot_verified" new_active_pol_version=0.0.0
      new_policy_digest=sha256:820EEA5B40CA42B51F68962354BA083122A20BB846F
      auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 lsm=ipe res=1

The above record showed the current IPE active policy switch from
`Allow_All` to `boot_verified` along with the version and the hash
digest of the two policies. Note IPE can only have one policy active
at a time, all access decision evaluation is based on the current active
policy.
The normal procedure to deploy a policy is loading the policy to deploy
into the kernel first, then switch the active policy to it.

AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422):

    audit: AUDIT1422 policy_name="boot_verified" policy_version=0.0.0
      policy_digest=sha256:820EEA5B40CA42B51F68962354BA083122A20BB846F2676
      auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 lsm=ipe res=1

The above record showed a new policy has been loaded into the kernel
with the policy name, policy version and policy hash.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
