Re: [PATCH ALT4 V3 1/2] audit: show fstype:pathname for entries with anonymous parents

Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of null PATH records to be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL records on a few modules when the following rule was in place for startup: -a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load This happens because the parent inode is not found in the task's audit_names list and hence treats it as anonymous. This gives us no information other than a numerical device number that may no longer be visible upon log inspeciton, and an inode number. Fill in the filesystem type, filesystem magic number and full pathname from the filesystem mount point on previously null PATH records from entries that have an anonymous parent from the child dentry using dentry_path_raw(). Make the dentry argument of __audit_inode_child() non-const so that we can take a reference to it in the case of an anonymous parent with dget() and dget_parent() to be able to later print a partial path from the host filesystem rather than null. Since all we are given is an inode of the parent and the dentry of the child, finding the path from the mount point to the root of the filesystem is more challenging that would involve searching all vfsmounts from "/" until a matching dentry is found for that filesystem's root dentry. Even if one is found, there may be more than one mount point. At this point the gain seems marginal since knowing the filesystem type and path are a significant help in tracking down the source of the PATH records and being to address them.
