[PATCH v5 01/24] lsm: Add audit_log_lsm_data() helper

Mickaël Salaün mic at digikod.net
Fri Jan 31 16:30:36 UTC 2025


Extract code from dump_common_audit_data() into the audit_log_lsm_data()
helper. This helps reuse common LSM audit data while not abusing
AUDIT_AVC records because of the common_lsm_audit() helper.
