[PATCH] dm verity: log audit events for dm-verity target

[Michael Weiß]

dm-verity signals integrity violations by returning I/O errors
to user space. To identify integrity violations by a controlling
instance, the kernel audit subsystem can be used to emit audit
events to user space. Analogous to dm-integrity, we also use the
dm-audit submodule allowing to emit audit events on verification
failures of metadata and data blocks as well as if max corrupted
errors are reached.

The construction and destruction of verity device mappings are
also relevant for auditing a system. Thus, those events are also
logged as audit events.

We tested this by starting a container with the container manager
(cmld) of GyroidOS which uses a dm-verity protected rootfs image
root.img mapped to /dev/mapper/<uuid>-root. We than manipulated
one block in the underlying image file and reading it from the
protected mapper device again and again until we reach the max
corrupted errors like this:

  dd if=/dev/urandom of=root.img bs=512 count=1 seek=1000
  for i in range {1..101}; do \
    dd if=/dev/mapper/<uuid>-root of=/dev/null bs=4096 \
       count=1 skip=1000 \
  done

The resulting audit log looks as follows:

  type=DM_CTRL msg=audit(1677618791.876:962):
    module=verity op=ctr ppid=4876 pid=29102 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0
    euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=44
    comm="cmld" exe="/usr/sbin/cml/cmld" subj=unconfined
    dev=254:3 error_msg='success' res=1

  type=DM_EVENT msg=audit(1677619463.786:1074): module=verity
    op=verify-data dev=7:0 sector=1000 res=0
  ...
  type=DM_EVENT msg=audit(1677619596.727:1162): module=verity
    op=verify-data dev=7:0 sector=1000 res=0

  type=DM_EVENT msg=audit(1677619596.731:1163): module=verity
    op=max-corrupted-errors dev=254:3 sector=? res=0
