Subject: Re: LKRG 0.3: ERROR: No buffer space available

Hello,

Thanks for your emails and reporting these issues, but I would like to point 
out that any emails sent to this mailing list MUST be in English. This is an 
official mailing list for the LKRG project and many subscribers are 
international (don't speak and understand Polish).

Both of your problems might be completely different (but don't need to be), but 
to be able to better understand them I need more information:

1) Are you using custom compiled kernel or default one from the distro package?
2) What is exact kernel version which you use?
  a) Krzysztof Kulesza is using Linux 4.14.55 - did you copy Slackware 14.2 
kernel configuration by hand and manually recompile / compile the kernel or did 
you use standard kernel package?
  b) Krzysztof Ciechanowski is using 4.17.7-041707-generic SMP but is it custom 
compilation? If not which distro kernel are you using?

LKRG module has a parameter p_init_log_level (which looks like you are aware 
of) which defines default log_level which is going to be used during 
initialization. You can read more about log_level option (and in general about 
communication channel) here:

http://openwall.info/wiki/p_lkrg/Examples#Communication-channel

In short it might be a number between 0-4 or 0-6 (if debugging compilation was 
used). As far as I see you've been using number 3, can you please use at least 
number 4? It will give more information about the root of the problem. If debug 
option is enabled number 5 and 6 is also available but you need to be carefully 
using it to not spam the kernel with too many logs.

If you try to load kernel with log_level at least 4, can you forward me what 
kernel logs says so I could find out what is the place of failing 
initialization process?
 a) Krzysztof Kulesza - in you case it looks like LKRG can find an "execve" 
syscall:
        [p_lkrg] [kretprobe] register_kretprobe() failed! [err=-38]
        [351270.013461] [p_lkrg] ERROR: Can't hook execve syscall :(
        [351270.013537] [p_lkrg] Can't initialize exploit detection features!
        Exiting...
    
    If you see in the logs failure like that (can't hook specific syscall), can 
you please run the following command:
    
    # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep 
<name_of_the_function_which_faild_during_init_process>
    
    so in your case would be:
    
    # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep execve


I would be happy to take a look what's going on.

<-- in Polish -->
Witam,

Jezeli angielski jest problematyczny na tyle ze uniemozliwa komunikacje, bylbym 
wdzieczny jesli maile po polsku nie bylyby wysylane na oficjalna liste 
mailingowa projektu - prosze uzyc mojego prywatnego maila.
Mam nadzieje ze moja odpowiedz po angielsku jest zrozumiala i bedziecie mogli 
dostarczy dodatkowych informacji, ktore potrzebuje ;)
<-- Done -->

Thanks,
Adam
