From dd8166212d9a2eca3181567c953d5687aea4d7dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Thi=C3=A9baud=20Weksteen?= Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2020 16:08:21 +0200 Subject: selinux: add tracepoint on audited events MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The audit data currently captures which process and which target is responsible for a denial. There is no data on where exactly in the process that call occurred. Debugging can be made easier by being able to reconstruct the unified kernel and userland stack traces [1]. Add a tracepoint on the SELinux denials which can then be used by userland (i.e. perf). Although this patch could manually be added by each OS developer to trouble shoot a denial, adding it to the kernel streamlines the developers workflow. It is possible to use perf for monitoring the event: # perf record -e avc:selinux_audited -g -a ^C # perf report -g [...] 6.40% 6.40% audited=800000 tclass=4 | __libc_start_main | |--4.60%--__GI___ioctl | entry_SYSCALL_64 | do_syscall_64 | __x64_sys_ioctl | ksys_ioctl | binder_ioctl | binder_set_nice | can_nice | capable | security_capable | cred_has_capability.isra.0 | slow_avc_audit | common_lsm_audit | avc_audit_post_callback | avc_audit_post_callback | It is also possible to use the ftrace interface: # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/avc/selinux_audited/enable # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace tracer: nop entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 1/1 #P:8 [...] dmesg-3624 [001] 13072.325358: selinux_denied: audited=800000 tclass=4 The tclass value can be mapped to a class by searching security/selinux/flask.h. The audited value is a bit field of the permissions described in security/selinux/av_permissions.h for the corresponding class.
