[PATCH 2/4] audit: rework execve audit

execve_audit.patch (application/octet-stream, 6.2 KB)
The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at
the end of the execve system call. Since user-space hasn't had time to run,
this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to copy
it, we can just grab it from there.

In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a
temporary kernel buffer first.

Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a
single packet. So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit, but
only when execve auditing is enabled.

If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check
can be removed.
