I've been working on this and I'll post a patch under a new topic later today (what I've implemented does not currently contain an identity feature, but it could be added without much work).

I have looked at several system-call auditing frameworks but, in general, they:

  1. did not integrate with SELinux (which often meant they did a tremendous amount of work that is subsumed by LSM), and
  2. they had broader goals (i.e., performance monitoring/tuning or debugging, for which they were willing to take a performance hit that is not reasonable to take for always-on security auditing).
