As mentioned in the other emails, I think this could trivially be
converted into an LSM: all the hooks are available AFAICT. If you only
want to introspect execve _happening_, you can use bprm_creds_for_exec
which is called a few lines above. Otherwise, my prior suggestion ("the
exec has happened" hook via brpm_cred_committing, etc).
And if its information only, you could just register a callback to the
trace_sched_process_exec() tracepoint and do whatever you want then.

The tracepoints are available for anyone to attach to. Not just tracing.
And there's also trace_sched_process_fork() and
trace_sched_process_exit().
Since this feature requires a pointer to the statistical data in the
task_struct structure, and the LSM allows this using the security blobs,
I think that the best for now is convert all the code to an LSM. Anyway,
thanks for the suggestion.
