2007-07-16Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac
Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it necessary to audit TTY output as well. Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still work). TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly useless audit events. Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel. The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone). Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Remove old HW RNG supportMichael Buesch
This patch series replaces the old non-generic Hardware Random Number Generator support by a fully generic RNG API. This makes it possible to register additional RNGs from modules. With this patch series applied, Laptops with a bcm43xx chip (PowerBook) have a HW RNG available now. Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap" devices. (Written by Deepak Saxena). This patch series includes the old patches by Deepak Saxena. The old x86-rng driver has beed split. The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through /sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience. For now it is sufficient to use cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.

2006-06-10[PATCH] powerpc: console_initcall ordering issuesMilton Miller
From: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> The add_preferred_console call in rtas_console.c was not causing the console to be selected. It turns out that the add_preferred_console was being called after the hvc_console driver was registered. It only works when it is called before the console driver is registered. Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection during console_initcall processing.

The following is an update of the patch I sent yesterday (3/9/05) incorporating suggestions from Christoph Hellwig and Andreas Schwab. It allows Altix and Altix-like systems to handle environmental events generated by the system controllers, and should apply on top of Jack Steiner's patch of 3/1/05 ("New chipset support for SN platform") and Mark Goodwin's patch of 3/8/05 ("Altix SN topology support for new chipsets and pci topology").

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
