Hi Linus, Seven audit patches for 4.4, but really only one of any significant value, the remainder are trivial cleanups that are described well enough in the patch descriptions. The one significant patch is an attempt to make communication between the kernel's audit subsystem and the userspace audit daemon a bit more robust by retrying on certain transient error conditions. All in all, it's a pretty small set of patches this time around with just fixes and cleanups, please pull for 4.4. Thanks, -Paul --- The following changes since commit 6a13feb9c82803e2b815eca72fa7a9f5561d7861: Linux 4.3 (2015-11-01 16:05:25 -0800) are available in the git repository at: git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit upstream for you to fetch changes up to 233a68667cf4c134d07ef7e22bdd77786b5c7360: audit: make audit_log_common_recv_msg() a void function (2015-11-04 08:23:52 -0500) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Moore (1): audit: make audit_log_common_recv_msg() a void function Richard Guy Briggs (1): audit: try harder to send to auditd upon netlink failure Saurabh Sengar (1): audit: removing unused variable Scott Matheina (1): audit: fix comment block whitespace Yaowei Bai (3): audit: audit_dummy_context can be boolean audit: audit_string_contains_control can be boolean audit: audit_tree_match can be boolean include/linux/audit.h | 8 ++++---- kernel/audit.c | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- kernel/audit.h | 2 +- kernel/audit_tree.c | 6 +++--- kernel/auditfilter.c | 14 +++++++------- 5 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) -- paul moore security @ redhat
