Re: [RFC PATCH v1 0/7] Landlock audit support

[Mickaël Salaün]

I talked about this patch series at the Kernel Recipes conference, and
you might want to take a look at the future work:
https://landlock.io/talks/2023-09-25_landlock-audit-kr.pdf

In a nutshell, new syscall flags:
* For landlock_create_ruleset() to opt-in for logging ruleset-related
  and domain-related use
* For landlock_add_rule() to opt-in for logging this rule if it granted
  the requested access
* For landlock_restrict_self() to opt-in for:
  * not log anything
  * handle a permissive mode to log actions that would have been denied
    (very useful to build a sandbox)
