[PATCH ghak81 RFC V1 5/5] audit: collect audit task parameters

Richard Guy Briggs rgb at redhat.com
Fri May 4 20:54:38 UTC 2018


The audit-related parameters in struct task_struct should ideally be
collected together and accessed through a standard audit API.

Collect the existing loginuid, sessionid and audit_context together in a
new struct audit_task_info pointer called "audit" in struct task_struct.

Use kmem_cache to manage this pool of memory.
Un-inline audit_free() to be able to always recover that memory.

See: https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/81
