We don't want to do this, at least not as it is written above.  We
shouldn't have a function which abstracts away the creation of a local
audit_context.  Usage of a local audit_context should be explicit in
the caller, and if the caller's execution context is ambiguous enough
that it can require both a task_struct audit_context and a local
audit_context then we need to handle that on a case-by-case basis.
Hiding it like this is guaranteed to cause problems later.

I probably did a poor job of explaining what a local context is during
the last patchset; I'll try to do a better job here but also let me
say this as clear as I can ... if the "current" task struct is valid
for a given code path, *never* use a local audit context.  The local
audit context is a hack that is made necessary by the fact that we
have to audit things which happen outside the scope of an executing
task, e.g. the netfilter audit hooks, it should *never* be used when
there is a valid task_struct.

It's the audit_context which helps bind multiple audit records into a
single event, creating a new, "local" audit_context destroys that
binding as audit records created using that local audit_context have a
different timestamp from those records created using the current
task_struct's audit_context.

Hopefully that makes sense?

This chunk seems lost here, does it belong in another patch?

Related to the other comments around local audit_contexts, we don't
want to do this; use the existing audit_context, @lac in this case, so
that this audit record is bound to the other associated records into a
single audit event (all have the same timestamp).

We shouldn't need to do this for the reasons discussed up near the top
of this email (and elsewhere as well).

I'm going to refrain from commenting on the other uses of
audit_alloc_for_lsm() in this patch unless there is something unique
to the code path, so if you don't see me comment about a use of
audit_alloc_for_lsm() you can assume it should be removed and the
existing audit_context used instead.

See my comment directly above regarding usage of
audit_alloc_for_lsm(), it obviously applies here too.

See my note below about moving this into audit_log_task_context(), but
if we really need to keep this as a separate function, let's consider
changing the name to something which indicates that it logs the LSM
data as *subject* fields.  How about audit_log_lsm_subj()?

Since @i starts at zero, you can get rid of @sep by replacing it with @i:

  audit_log_format(ab, ..., (i ? " " : ""), ...);

Instead of the lsm_multiple_contexts() case bailing on the rest of the
function with a return inside the if-block, let's made the code a bit
more robust by organizing it like this:

  int audit_log_task_context(ab)
  {
     /* common stuff at the start */

     if (lsm_multiple_contexts()) {
       /* multi-LSM stuff */
     } else {
       /* single LSM stuff */
     }

     /* common stuff at the end */
  }

... it also may make sense to just move the body of audit_log_lsm()
into audit_log_task_context() and do away with audit_log_lsm()
entirely; is it ever going to be called from anywhere else?

This chunk should be moved to 21/25 when audit_alloc_local() is first defined.

If this is strictly necessary, and I don't think it is, it should also
be moved to patch 21/25 with the original definition of a local
audit_context.  However,  there really should be no reason why we have
to distinguish between a proper and local audtit_context when it comes
to free'ing the memory, just call audit_free_context() in both cases.

Actually, there are a lot of these below, I'm not going to comment on
all of them as I think you get the idea ... and I very well may be
wrong so I'll save you all of my wrongness in that case :)
