tty: audit: Ignore current association for audit push
In canonical read mode, each line read and logged is pushed separately with tty_audit_push(). For all single-threaded processes and multi-threaded processes reading from only one tty, this patch has no effect; the last line read will still be the entry pushed to the audit log because the tty association cannot have changed between tty_audit_add_data() and tty_audit_push(). For multi-threaded processes reading from different ttys concurrently, the audit log will have mixed log entries anyway. Consider two ttys audited concurrently: CPU0 CPU1 ---------- ------------ tty_audit_add_data(ttyA) tty_audit_add_data(ttyB) tty_audit_push() tty_audit_add_data(ttyB) tty_audit_push() This patch will now cause the ttyB output to be split into separate audit log entries. However, this possibility is equally likely without this patch: CPU0 CPU1 ---------- ------------ tty_audit_add_data(ttyB) tty_audit_add_data(ttyA) tty_audit_push() tty_audit_add_data(ttyB) tty_audit_push() Mixed canonical and non-canonical reads have similar races.
