The AUDIT_INTEGRITY_RULE is used for auditing IMA policy rules and

AUDIT_INTEGRITY_POLICY_RULE to reflect the IMA policy rules.
With this change we now call integrity_audit_msg_common() to get
common integrity auditing fields. This now produces the following
record when parsing an IMA policy rule:

Is it possible to connect this record to a syscall by replacing the
first parameter (NULL) by current->context?
We're likely going to need to "associate" this record (audit speak for
making the first parameter non-NULL) with others for the audit
container ID work. If you do it now, Richard's patches will likely
get a few lines smaller and that will surely make him a bit happier :)
Richard is also introducing a local context that we can then create and use
instead of the NULL. Can we not use that then?
That is for records for which there is no syscall or user associated.
In fact there is another recent change that would be better to use than
current->audit_context, which is the function audit_context().
See commit cdfb6b3 ("audit: use inline function to get audit context").
Steven seems to say: "We don't want to add syscall records to everything.
That messes up schemas and existing code. The integrity events are 1 record
in size and should stay that way. This saves disk space and improves
readability."
We would have to fix current->context in this case since it is NULL. We get
to this location by root cat'ing a policy or writing a policy filename into
/sys/kernel/security/ima/policy.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but current in this case should point
to the process which is writing to the policy file, yes?
Yes, but current->context is NULL for some reason.
Is it always this way? If it isn't, which it should not be, we should
find out why. Well, we should find out why this is NULL anyways, since
it shouldn't be.
When someone writes a policy for IMA into securityfs, it's always NULL.
There's another location where IMA uses the current->audit_context, and
that's here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/security/integrity/ima/ima_api.c#L323
At this location we sometimes see a (background) process with an
audit_context but in the majority of cases it's current->audit_context
is NULL. Starting a process as root or also non-root user, with the
appropriate IMA audit policy rules set, we always see a NULL
audit_context here.
