Subject: [PATCH] TaskTracker : Simplified thread information tracker.

Yesterday I went to LinuxCon Japan 2014 and stopped at Red Hat's booth
and Oracle's booth. I explained about this module ( using page 92 of
http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tomoyo/LCJ2014-en.pdf ) and got positive
responses from persons who have experienced troubleshooting jobs.
I was convinced that I am not the only person who is bothered by lack of
process history information in the logs. Therefore, I repost this module
toward inclusion into mainline Linux kernel.

Changes from previous version ( http://lwn.net/Articles/575044/ ):

  (1) Assign a value to "u32 *seclen" in addition to "char *secdata"
      at security_task_getsecid() hook.

  (2) Make calculation of time stamp a bit faster.

Background:

  When an unexpected system event (e.g. reboot) occurs, the administrator may
  want to identify which application triggered the event. System call auditing
  could be used for recording such event. However, the audit log may not be
  able to provide sufficient information for identifying the application
  because the audit log does not reflect how the program was executed.

  I sometimes receive "which application triggered the event" questions on RHEL
  systems. TOMOYO security module can track how the program was executed, but
  TOMOYO is not yet available in Fedora/RHEL distributions.

  Although subj= field is added to the audit log if SELinux is not disabled,
  SELinux is too difficult to customize as fine grained as I expect in order to
  reflect how the program was executed. Therefore, I'm currently using AKARI
  and SystemTap for emulating TOMOYO-like tracing.

  But AKARI and SystemTap do not help unless the kernel module is loaded before
  the unexpected system event occurs. Generally, the administrator is failing
  to record the first event, and has to wait for the same event to occur again
  after loading the kernel module and/or configuring auditing. I came to think
  that we want a built-in kernel routine which is automatically started upon
  boot so that we don't fail to record the first event.

What I did:

  Assuming that multiple concurrent LSM support comes in the near future,
  I wrote a trivial LSM module which emits TOMOYO-like information into the
  audit logs.

Usage:

  Just register this LSM module. No configuration is needed. You will get
  history of current thread in the form of comm name and time stamp pairs
  in the subj= field of audit logs like examples shown in the patch
  description.

Subject: [PATCH] TaskTracker : Simplified thread information tracker.

Existing audit logs generated via system call auditing functionality include
current thread's comm name. But it is not always sufficient for identifying
which application has requested specific operations because comm name does not
reflect history of current thread.

This security module adds functionality for adding current thread's history
information like TOMOYO security module does, expecting that this module can
help us getting more information from system call auditing functionality.
