Robert Watson a5c6cfa00d Vendor import of OpenBSM 1.1 alpha2, which incorporates the following
changes since the last imported OpenBSM release:

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 2

- Include files in OpenBSM are now broken out into two parts: library builds
  required solely for user space, and system includes, which may also be
  required for use in the kernels of systems integrating OpenBSM.  Submitted
  by Stacey Son.
- Configure option --with-native-includes allows forcing the use of native
  include for system includes, rather than the versions bundled with OpenBSM.
  This is intended specifically for platforms that ship OpenBSM, have adapted
  versions of the system includes in a kernel source tree, and will use the
  OpenBSM build infrastructure with an unmodified OpenBSM distribution,
  allowing the customized system includes to be used with the OpenBSM build.
  Submitted by Stacey Son.
- Various strcpy()'s/strcat()'s have been changed to strlcpy()'s/strlcat()'s
  or asprintf().  Added compat/strlcpy.h for Linux.
- Remove compatibility defines for old Darwin token constant names; now only
  BSM token names are provided and used.
- Add support for extended header tokens, which contain space for information
  on the host generating the record.
- Add support for setting extended host information in the kernel, which is
  used for setting host information in extended header tokens.  The
  audit_control file now supports a "host" parameter which can be used by
  auditd to set the information; if not present, the kernel parameters won't
  be set and auditd uses unextended headers for records that it generates.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 1

- Add option to auditreduce(1) which allows users to invert sense of
  matching, such that BSM records that do not match, are selected.
- Fix bug in audit_write() where we commit an incomplete record in the
  event there is an error writing the subject token.  This was submitted
  by Diego Giagio.
- Build support for Mac OS X 10.5.1 submitted by Eric Hall.
- Fix a bug which resulted in host XML attributes not beingguments so that const strings can be passed
  as arguments to tokens.  This patch was submitted by Xin LI.
- Modify the -m option so users can select more then one audit event.
- For Mac OS X, added Mach IPC support for audit trigger messages.
- Fixed a bug in getacna() which resulted in a locking problem on Mac OS X.
- Added LOG_PERROR flag to openlog when -d option is used with auditd.
- AUE events added for Mac OS X Leopard system calls.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In bsm/audit.h
.Ft int
.Fn audit "const char *record" "u_int length"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn audit
system call
submits a completed BSM audit record to the system audit log.
.Pp
The
.Fa record
argument
is a pointer to the specific event to be recorded and
.Fa length
is the size in bytes of the data to be written.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn audit
system call will fail and the data never written if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EFAULT
The
.Fa record
argument is beyond the allocated address space of the process.

The token ID is invalid or
.Va length
is larger than
.Dv MAXAUDITDATA .
.It Bq Er EPERM
The process does not have sufficient permission to complete
the operation.

.Sh HISTORY
The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc.\& in 2004.
It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
the OpenBSM distribution.

.Sh BUGS
The
.Fx
kernel does not fully validate that the argument passed is syntactically
valid BSM.
Submitting invalid audit records may corrupt the audit log.
