This replaces the string contexts for IPC label collection with u32
sid's, and translates those sid's to context strings at audit_log_exit()
time. Steve Grubb's patch for a similar replacement for inode objects
was used as a framework for this patch.
This patch applies to Al Viro's audit-current.git tree (lspp.b4 branch),
after the following two prereq patches have been applied:
- My rework of the ipc audit code (not yet merged to Al's tree,
though no outstanding negative comments on list...(?)):
http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-March/msg00088.html
- Steve Grubb's inode patch:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-March/msg00285.html
A few notes...
- The references to [security|selinux]_ipc_getsecurity have been
eliminated, and therefore I removed these definitions in the
SELinux code. I could conceivably move that to a separate patch
(?) or it can remain in the kernel. As we have a cleaner
solution to the overall problem and there are no remaining
callers, I think these should be removed entirely.
- Steve's patch is required as I call selinux_ctxid_to_string()
which his patch added.
- Otherwise, this is a pretty straight duplication of Steve's
approach to inode context/sid auditing. I would expect the same
criticisms to apply.
- This code compiles cleanly, though I was not able to run my
built kernel due to a seemingly unrelated error that surfaced
during 'make install':

Steve, if you could (a) take a close look at this patch and ensure that
I'm closely following your model, and (b) build this patch and run
similar performance benchmarks, that would be great. I'm traveling
tomorrow and will be out of pocket for the next few days.
