We probably should move the existing audit_log_kern_module() to just
after the elf_validity_cache_copy() call as both info->name and
info->mod->name should be as valid as they are going to get at that
point. If we do that then we only have two cases we need to worry about,
a failed module_sig_check() or a failed elf_validity_cache_copy(), and
in both cases we can use "(unavailable)" without having to check
info->name first.
However, assuming we move the audit_log_kern_module() call up a bit as
described above, I'm not sure there is much value in calling
audit_log_kern_module() with an "(unavailable)" module name in those
early two cases. We know it's an attempted module load based on the
SYSCALL record, seeing an associated "(unavailable)" KERN_MODULE record
doesn't provide us with any more information than if we had simply
skipped the KERN_MODULE record.
Untested, but this is what I'm talking about:
