* Add ability to skip rules for unknown filters
Add the ability to skip a rule if its condition refers to a filtercheck
that doesn't exist. This allows defining a rules file that contains new
conditions that can still has limited backward compatibility with older
falco versions.
When compiling a filter, return a list of filtercheck names that are
present in the ast (which also includes filterchecks from any
macros). This set of filtercheck names is matched against the set of
filterchecks known to sinsp, expressed as lua patterns, and in the
global table defined_filters. If no match is found, the rule loader
throws an error.
The pattern changes slightly depending on whether the filter has
arguments or not. Two filters (proc.apid/proc.aname) can work with or
without arguments, so both styles of patterns are used.
If the rule has an attribute "skip-if-unknown-filter", the rule will be
skipped instead.
* Unit tests for skipping unknown filter
New unit test for skipping unknown filter. Test cases:
- A rule that refers to an unknown filter results in an error.
- A rule that refers to an unknown filter, but has
"skip-if-unknown-filter: true", can be read, but doesn't match any events.
- A rule that refers to an unknown filter, but has
"skip-if-unknown-filter: false", returns an error.
Also test the case of a filtercheck like evt.arg.xxx working properly
with the embedded patterns as well as proc.aname/apid which work both ways.
* Only check whole rule names when matching counts
Tweak the regex so a rule my_great_rule doesn't pick up event counts for
a rule "great_rule: nnn".
* Add ability to skip evttype warnings for rules
A new attribute warn_evttypes, if present, suppresses printing warnings
related to a rule not matching any event type. Useful if you have a rule
where not including an event type is intentional.
* Add test for preserving rule order
Test the fix for https://github.com/draios/falco/issues/354. A rules
file has a event-specific rule first and a catchall rule second. Without
the changes in https://github.com/draios/sysdig/pull/1103, the first
rule does not match the event.
* Properly support syscalls in filter conditions
Syscalls have their own numbers but they weren't really handled within
falco. This meant that there wasn't a way to handle filters with
evt.type=xxx clauses where xxx was a value that didn't have a
corresponding event entry (like "madvise", for examples), or where a
syscall like open could also be done indirectly via syscall(__NR_open,
...).
First, add a new top-level global syscalls that maps from a string like
"madvise" to all the syscall nums for that id, just as we do for event
names/numbers.
In the compiler, when traversing the AST for evt.type=XXX or evt.type in
(XXX, ...) clauses, also try to match XXX against the global syscalls
table, and return any ids in a standalone table.
Also throw an error if an XXX doesn't match any event name or syscall name.
The syscall numbers are passed as an argument to sinsp_evttype_filter so
it can preindex the filters by syscall number.
This depends on https://github.com/draios/sysdig/pull/1100
* Add unit test for syscall support
This does a madvise, which doesn't have a ppm event type, both directly
and indirectly via syscall(__NR_madvise, ...), as well as an open
directly + indirectly. The corresponding rules file matches on madvise
and open.
The test ensures that both opens and both madvises are detected.
* Add the ability to validate multiple rules files
Allow multiple -V arguments just as we do with multiple -r arguments.
* With verbose output, print dangling macros/lists
Start tracking whether or not a given macro/list is actually used when
compiling the set of rules. Every macro/list has an attribute used,
which defaults to false and is set to true whenever it is referred to in
a macro/rule/list.
When run with -v, any macro/list that still has used=false results in a
warning message.
Also, it turns out the fix for
https://github.com/draios/falco/issues/197 wasn't being applied to
macros. Fix that.
When performing list substitution, only replace a list name when it is
surrounded by whitespace or expected punctuation characters. Lua
patterns don't have a notion of this-or-that patterns e.g. (^|abc), so
we have 3 versions of the substitution depending on whether he list name
occurs in the beginning, middle, or end of a string.
This fixes#197.
Also validate macros when they are parsed. Macros are also validated as
a part of rules being parsed, but it's possible to have an individual
rules file containing only macros, or a macro not explicitly tied to any
rule. In this case, it's useful to be able to check the macro to see if
it contains dangling macro references.
Related to the changes in https://github.com/draios/agent/pull/267,
improve error messages when trying to load sets of rules with errors:
- Check that yaml parsing of rules_content actually resulted in
something.
- Return an error for rules that have an empty name.
- Return an error for yaml objects that aren't a rule/macro/list.
- When compiling, don't print an error message, simply return one,
including a wrapper "can not compile ..." string.
Move the c++ and lua code implementing falco engine/falco common to its
own directory userspace/engine. It's compiled as a static library
libfalco_engine.a, and has its own CMakeLists.txt so it can be included
by other projects.
The engine's CMakeLists.txt has a add_subdirectory for the falco rules
directory, so including the engine also builds the rules.
The variables you need to set to use the engine's CMakeLists.txt are:
- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: the root directory below which everything is
installed.
- FALCO_ETC_DIR: where to install the rules file.
- FALCO_SHARE_DIR: where to install lua code, relative to the
- install/package root.
- LUAJIT_INCLUDE: where to find header files for lua.
- FALCO_SINSP_LIBRARY: the library containing sinsp code. It will be
- considered a dependency of the engine.
- LPEG_LIB/LYAML_LIB/LIBYAML_LIB: locations for third-party libraries.
- FALCO_COMPONENT: if set, will be included as a part of any install()
commands.
Instead of specifying /usr/share/falco in config_falco_*.h.in, use
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and FALCO_SHARE_DIR.
The lua code for the engine has also moved, so the two lua source
directories (userspace/engine/lua and userspace/falco/lua) need to be
available separately via falco_common, so make it an argument to
falco_common::init.
As a part of making it easy to include in another project, also clean up
LPEG build/defs. Modify build-lpeg to add a PREFIX argument to allow for
object files/libraries being in an alternate location, and when building
lpeg, put object files in a build/ subdirectory.
