.Dt DTRACE_AUDIT 4 | ||
.Os | ||
.Sh NAME | ||
.Nm dtrace_audit | ||
.Nd A DTrace provider for tracing | ||
.Xr audit 4 | ||
events | ||
.Sh SYNOPSIS | ||
.Pp | ||
.Fn audit:event:aue_*:commit "char *eventname" "struct audit_record *ar" | ||
.Fn audit:event:aue_*:bsm "char *eventname" "struct audit_record *ar" "const void *" "size_t" | ||
.Pp | ||
To compile this module into the kernel, place the following in your kernel | ||
configuration file: | ||
.Pp | ||
.Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
.Cd "options DTAUDIT" | ||
.Ed | ||
.Pp | ||
Alternatively, to load the module at boot time, place the following line in | ||
.Xr loader.conf 5 : | ||
.Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
dtaudit_load="YES" | ||
.Ed | ||
.Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
The DTrace | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
provider allows users to trace events in the kernel security auditing | ||
subsystem, | ||
.Xr audit 4 . | ||
.Xr audit 4 | ||
provides detailed logging of a configurable set of security-relevant system | ||
calls, including key arguments (such as file paths) and return values that are | ||
copied race-free as the system call proceeds. | ||
The | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
provider allows DTrace scripts to selectively enable in-kernel audit-record | ||
capture for system calls, and then access those records in either the | ||
in-kernel format or BSM format (\c | ||
.Xr audit.log 5 ) | ||
when the system call completes. | ||
While the in-kernel audit record data structure is subject to change as the | ||
kernel changes over time, it is a much more friendly interface for use in D | ||
scripts than either those available via the DTrace system-call provider or the | ||
BSM trail itself. | ||
.Ss Configuration | ||
The | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
provider relies on | ||
.Xr audit 4 | ||
being compiled into the kernel. | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
probes become available only once there is an event-to-name mapping installed | ||
in the kernel, normally done by | ||
.Xr auditd 8 | ||
during the boot process, if audit is enabled in | ||
.Xr rc.conf 5 : | ||
.Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
auditd_enable="YES" | ||
.Ed | ||
.Pp | ||
If | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
probes are required earlier in boot -- for example, in single-user mode -- or | ||
without enabling | ||
.Xr audit 4 , | ||
they can be preloaded in the boot loader by adding this line to | ||
.Xr loader.conf 5 . | ||
.Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
audit_event_load="YES" | ||
.Ed | ||
.Ss Probes | ||
The | ||
.Fn audit:event:aue_*:commit | ||
probes fire synchronously during system-call return, giving access to two | ||
arguments: a | ||
.Vt char * | ||
audit event name, and | ||
the | ||
.Vt struct audit_record * | ||
in-kernel audit record. | ||
Because the probe fires in system-call return, the user thread has not yet | ||
regained control, and additional information from the thread and process | ||
remains available for capture by the script. | ||
.Pp | ||
The | ||
.Fn audit:event:aue_*:bsm | ||
probes fire asynchonously from system-call return, following BSM conversion | ||
and just prior to being written to disk, giving access to four arguments: a | ||
.Vt char * | ||
audit event name, the | ||
.Vt struct audit_record * | ||
in-kernel audit record, a | ||
.Vt const void * | ||
pointer to the converted BSM record, and a | ||
.Vt size_t | ||
for the length of the BSM record. | ||
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES | ||
When a set of | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
probes are registered, corresponding in-kernel audit records will be captured | ||
and their probes will fire regardless of whether the | ||
.Xr audit 4 | ||
subsystem itself would have captured the record for the purposes of writing it | ||
to the audit trail, or for delivery to a | ||
.Xr auditpipe 4 . | ||
In-kernel audit records allocated only because of enabled | ||
.Xr dtaudit 4 | ||
probes will not be unnecessarily written to the audit trail or enabled pipes. | ||

.An Robert Watson Aq Mt rwatson@FreeBSD.org . | ||
.Sh BUGS | ||
Because | ||
.Xr audit 4 | ||
maintains its primary event-to-name mapping database in userspace, that | ||
database must be loaded into the kernel before | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
probes become available. | ||
.Pp | ||
.Nm dtaudit | ||
is only able to provide access to system-call audit events, not the full | ||
scope of userspace events, such as those relating to login, password change, | ||
and so on. |
