[PATCH ghak59 V3 0/4] audit: config_change normalizations and event record gathering

Make a number of changes to normalize CONFIG_CHANGE records by adding
missing op= fields, providing more information in existing op fields
(optional last patch) and connecting all records to existing audit
events.  The user record needs special-casing since its content isn't
directly related to the call that logs it.

Since tree purge records are processed after the EOE record is produced,
the order of operation of the EOE record and the purge will have to be
reversed so that the purge records can be included in the event.

The last patch is included for completeness understanding it may be more
information than necessary.

For reference, here are the calling methods and function tree for all
CONFIG_CHANGE events with fields:
- audit_log_config_change()
	- add "op=set" to fields: "[op] <param-name> old auid ses subj res"
        - AUDIT_SET:AUDIT_STATUS_PID
        - AUDIT_SET:AUDIT_STATUS_LOST
        - audit_do_config_change()
                - AUDIT_SET:AUDIT_STATUS_FAILURE
                - AUDIT_SET:AUDIT_STATUS_ENABLED
                - AUDIT_SET:AUDIT_STATUS_RATE_LIMIT
                - AUDIT_SET:AUDIT_STATUS_BACKLOG_LIMIT
                - AUDIT_SET:AUDIT_STATUS_BACKLOG_WAIT_TIME
- audit_log_rule_change()
	- fields: "auid ses subj op key list res"
        - AUDIT_ADD_RULE -F dir=...
        - AUDIT_DEL_RULE -F dir=...
- audit_log_common_recv_msg()
	- fields: "pid uid auid ses subj ..."
        - AUDIT_*USER* events (not CONFIG_CHANGE like all the rest)
        - AUDIT_LOCKED add "op={add,remove}_rule" to "[op] audit_enabled res"
        - AUDIT_TRIM "op=trim res"
        - AUDIT_MAKE_EQUIV: "op=make_equiv old new res"
        - AUDIT_TTY_SET: "op=tty_set old-enabled new-enabled old-log_passwd new-log_passwd res"
- audit_mark_log_rule_change()
	- add ":mark" to op in fields: "uid ses op=autoremove_rule[] path key list res"
        - audit_autoremove_mark_rule()
                - audit_mark_handle_event()
                        - audit_mark_fsnotify_ops.handle_event
- audit_tree_log_remove_rule() called from kill_rules()
	- add to op ":tree:%s" to fields: "op=remove_rule[] dir key list res"
        - from trim_marked()
                - AUDIT_TRIM: audit_trim_trees() "trim"
                - audit_add_tree_rule() iterate_mounts err "add"
                        - audit_add_rule()
                                - audit_rule_change()
                                        - AUDIT_ADD_RULE -F dir=...
                - AUDIT_MAKE_EQUIV: audit_tag_tree() iterate_mounts err "equiv"
        - from audit_kill_trees()
                - __audit_free() "free"
                        - do_exit()
                        - copy_process() err
                - __audit_syscall_exit() "exit"
        - from evict_chunk() "evict"
                - audit_tree_freeing_mark()
                        - audit_tree_ops.freeing_mark
- audit_watch_log_rule_change()
	add to op ":watch:%s" to fields "auid ses op={updated,remove}_rule[] path key list res"
        - audit_update_watch() "updated_rules:watch:inval" : "updated_rules:watch:set"
                - audit_watch_handle_event() FS_CREATE|FS_MOVED_TO, FS_DELETE|FS_MOVED_FROM
                        - audit_watch_fsnotify_ops.handle_event
        - audit_remove_parent_watches() "remove_rule:watch:parent"
                - audit_watch_handle_event() FS_DELETE_SELF|FS_UNMOUNT|FS_MOVE_SELF
                        - audit_watch_fsnotify_ops.handle_event
- audit_seccomp_actions_logged()
	- fields: "op actions old-actions res"

- remove parens in extended format

v2:
- re-order audit_log_exit() and audit_kill_trees()
- drop EOE reordering patch
- rebase on 4.18-rc1 (audit/next)

Richard Guy Briggs (4):
  audit: give a clue what CONFIG_CHANGE op was involved
  audit: add syscall information to CONFIG_CHANGE records
  audit: hand taken context to audit_kill_trees for syscall logging
  audit: extend config_change mark/watch/tree rule changes
