kernel/include/linux/syslog.h, branch linux-3.1.yHosts the 0x221E linux distro kernel.https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/atom?h=linux-3.1.y2010-02-04T03:20:41Zsyslog: use defined constants instead of raw numbers2010-02-04T03:20:41ZKees Cookkees.cook@canonical.com2010-02-03T23:37:13Zurn:sha1:d78ca3cd733d8a2c3dcd88471beb1a15d973eed8
Right now the syslog "type" action are just raw numbers which makes
the source difficult to follow. This patch replaces the raw numbers
with defined constants for some level of sanity.

syslog: distinguish between /proc/kmsg and syscalls2010-02-04T03:20:12ZKees Cookkees.cook@canonical.com2010-02-03T23:36:43Zurn:sha1:002345925e6c45861f60db6f4fc6236713fd8847
This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating
from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls. By default, the commoncaps
will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg
file descriptor. For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop
privileges after opening /proc/kmsg, instead of staying privileged with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN. MAC systems that implement security_syslog have unchanged
behavior.
