[PATCH v33 26/29] Audit: Add record for multiple task security contexts

Thu Mar 10 23:46:29 UTC 2022


Create a new audit record AUDIT_MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS.
An example of the MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS (1420) record is:

    type=MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS[1420]
    msg=audit(1600880931.832:113)
    subj_apparmor=unconfined
    subj_smack=_

When an audit event includes a AUDIT_MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS record
the "subj=" field in other records in the event will be "subj=?".
An AUDIT_MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS record is supplied when the system has
multiple security modules that may make access decisions based
on a subject security context.

Functions are created to manage the skb list in the audit_buffer.
