[PATCH 1/2] SELinux Context Label based audit filtering

Kernel audit component
This patch is against David Woodhouse's last update of his audit-2.6 git
tree, plus a patch submitted by Amy Griffis on 2006-01-17 that adds
support for strings in audit rules. This patch can be found here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-January/msg00064.html
Let me highlight and explain a few key points:
I've added another function similar to audit_comparator():
audit_str_comparator(). This function takes a left string, an operator,
and a right string and returns true or false based on the comparison.
NULL is considered absolute zero, such that any valid string is greater
than NULL. Additionally, two NULL strings are considered equal. These
assumptions are made such that ugly NULL pointer dereferences are easily
avoided.
Please double check my memory management. I need to kmalloc() space to
memcpy() the string from the netlink message into a kernel rule
structure. Obviously, this needs to be cleaned up properly upon rule
destruction, which I think I'm doing properly.
I also split the function audit_log_task_context() into two parts. The
first part allocates the memory necessary and returns the a context
(aka, label) as a string pointer--this new function is called
audit_get_task_label(). In turn, audit_log_task_context() simply calls
audit_get_task_label() and inserts that string into the audit record.
And audit_get_task_label() is called just before the filter code such
that it has a label to potentially filter upon. Again, proper kfree()'s
are required as audit_get_task_label() does the memory allocation and
the consumer must free.
Note that this code actually only provides enough functionality to
filter on _task_ labels. I'm looking for input or acknowledgment from
the SELinux guys (cc'd) on the validity of the approach herein.
Additionally, I'm open to suggestions on how I might similarly collect
object and user labels for the same filtering mechanism (if required).
I hope to easily extend this patch to handle those as well, though I
wanted to put this much forth immediately to incorporate suggestions.
Comments appreciated...
