Instead of always showing a backtrace,
- for AppArmorException (used for profile syntax errors etc.), print only
the exceptions value because a backtrace is superfluous and would
confuse users.
- for other (unexpected) exceptions, print backtrace and save detailed
information in a file in /tmp/ (including variable content etc.) to
make debugging easier.
This is done by adding the apparmor.fail module which contains a custom
exception handler (using cgitb, except for AppArmorException).
Also change all python aa-* tools to use the new exception handler.
Note: aa-audit did show backtraces only if the --trace option was given.
This is superfluous with the improved exception handling, therefore this
patch removes the --trace option. (The other aa-* tools never had this
option.)
If you want to test the behaviour of the new exception handler, you can
use this script:
#!/usr/bin/python
from apparmor.common import AppArmorException, AppArmorBug
from apparmor.fail import enable_aa_exception_handler
enable_aa_exception_handler()
# choose one ;-)
raise AppArmorException('Harmless example failure')
#raise AppArmorBug('b\xe4d bug!')
#raise Exception('something is broken!')

Make sure most tools (for example aa-complain) don't error out if
no logfile can be found. (For obvious reasons, aa-logprof and
aa-genprof will still require a logfile ;-)
This is done by moving code from the global area in aa.py to the new
function set_logfile(), which is called by aa-logprof and aa-genprof.
While on it,
- rename apparmor.filename to apparmor.logfile
- move the error handling for user-specified logfile from aa-genprof
and aa-logprof to aa.py set_logfile()
Note: I'd have prefered to hand over the logfile as parameter to
do_logprof_pass(), but that would break last_audit_entry_time() in
aa-genprof which requires the log filename before do_logprof_pass()
is called.

Also allow everything except directories as logfile argument in
aa-genprof.

was worked on was not based on the apparmor tree, not all of the history
can be maintained for files that are not newly created or entirely
rewritten in the branch.

of a mix of symlinks to non-prefixed comands, and "apparmor_" prefixed
commands.
This also refactors the manpage generation slightly since we no longer
need special cases for the manpages, and drops aa-eventd from the default
list of tools to install (it also lacks a manpage).
