After a couple of weeks of settling, polishing, etc, the MFC of audit support is about to begin. Over the next couple of days, the 6-STABLE build may be briefly broken as inter-dependent components are merged. I do not anticipate any serious disruption, but some caution is called for. In principle, all the potentially tricky kernel ABI dependencies, etc, were dealt with before 6.0-RELEASE, such as changes in the size of the kernel system call data structures. The approximate merge plan, run by re@ a few days ago, is as follows:
Just as a status update -- the vast majority of audit code has now been MFC'd to -STABLE. There are a few areas where the merge is not yet complete -- primarily as relates to non-native/emulated/compatibility system calls, and non-i386/amd64 system calls. I anticipate these being merged in the near future. We've also seen a number of problem reports relating to starting the auditd daemon, a problem not seen during testing on -CURRENT, so we're working on debugging that, and we've found some bugs in audit log rotation. I'm currently travelling for a few days, but will follow up when I get back to the UK on Tuesday on where things stand, and what (if any) further changes are in the pipeline. Once these problems are fixed, it sounds like we're well on track to ship with audit as a 6.2 (experimental) feature.
