audit pipes. If the kernel record was not selected for the trail or the pipe,
any user supplied record attached to it would be tossed away, resulting in
otherwise selected events being lost.
- Introduce two new masks: AR_PRESELECT_USER_TRAIL AR_PRESELECT_USER_PIPE,
currently we have AR_PRESELECT_TRAIL and AR_PRESELECT_PIPE, which tells
the audit worker that we are interested in the kernel record, with
the additional masks we can determine if either the pipe or trail is
interested in seeing the kernel or user record.
- In audit(2), we unconditionally set the AR_PRESELECT_USER_TRAIL and
AR_PRESELECT_USER_PIPE masks under the assumption that userspace has
done the preselection [1].
Currently, there is work being done that allows the kernel to parse and
preselect user supplied records, so in the future preselection could occur
in either layer. But there is still a few details to work out here.
[1] At some point we need to teach au_preselect(3) about the interests of
all the individual audit pipes.
This is a RELENG_6 candidate.
