[ 101/102] audit: Make testing for a valid loginuid explicit.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri May 17 2013 - 17:38:34 EST


3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 780a7654cee8d61819512385e778e4827db4bfbc upstream.

audit rule additions containing "-F auid!=4294967295" were failing
with EINVAL because of a regression caused by e1760bd.

Apparently some userland audit rule sets want to know if loginuid uid
has been set and are using a test for auid != 4294967295 to determine
that.

In practice that is a horrible way to ask if a value has been set,
because it relies on subtle implementation details and will break
every time the uid implementation in the kernel changes.

So add a clean way to test if the audit loginuid has been set, and
silently convert the old idiom to the cleaner and more comprehensible
new idiom.

RGB notes: In upstream, audit_rule_to_entry has been refactored out.
This is patch is already upstream in functionally the same form in
commit 780a7654cee8d61819512385e778e4827db4bfbc . The decimal constant
was cast to unsigned to quiet GCC 4.6 32-bit architecture warnings.
