seccomp: Filter flag to log all actions except SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW
Add a new filter flag, SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG, that enables logging for all actions except for SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW for the given filter. SECCOMP_RET_KILL actions are always logged, when "kill" is in the actions_logged sysctl, and SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW actions are never logged, regardless of this flag. This flag can be used to create noisy filters that result in all non-allowed actions to be logged. A process may have one noisy filter, which is loaded with this flag, as well as a quiet filter that's not loaded with this flag. This allows for the actions in a set of filters to be selectively conveyed to the admin. Since a system could have a large number of allocated seccomp_filter structs, struct packing was taken in consideration. On 64 bit x86, the new log member takes up one byte of an existing four byte hole in the struct. On 32 bit x86, the new log member creates a new four byte hole (unavoidable) and consumes one of those bytes. Unfortunately, the tests added for SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG are not capable of inspecting the audit log to verify that the actions taken in the filter were logged. With this patch, the logic for deciding if an action will be logged is: if action == RET_ALLOW: do not log else if action == RET_KILL && RET_KILL in actions_logged: log else if filter-requests-logging && action in actions_logged: log else if audit_enabled && process-is-being-audited: log else: do not log Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
