Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_17899

Symptoms:
	PHKL_17899:
	System may reach deadlock condition in auditing code

	PHKL_17890:
	10.26 audits only the first 358 system calls.

Defect Description:
	PHKL_17899:
	After allocating a big chunk of audit buffers, the audit
	subsystem may try to write another audit record before
	releasing the buffers.  The second request may put the
	process in context to sleep to honour the space constraints
	enforced by the audit subsystem. The process will
	be deadlocked.  Subsequently, all other processes will
	also be put to sleep waiting for audit buffer space.

	Resolution:
	Prevent the deadlock by overriding the space constraints
	for the second audit request.

	PHKL_17890:
	The current 10.26 code audits only the first 358 system
	calls. The base 10.20 supports a total of 453 system calls
	including large filesystem calls.  The 10.26 code has been
	enhanced to audit the large filesystem calls which happens
	to be from 359 to 371.  The system calls from 372 to 453
	are not supported in 10.26.

	Resolution:
	Update audit_table and auditmsg.h to support the large
	filesystem calls.

Installation Instructions:
	Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
	SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
	and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
	restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
	before installing this patch.
	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHKL_17899

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHKL_17899.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHKL_17899.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHKL_17899.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHKL_17899.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHKL_17899.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
