There are cases where (at least) cause can be a multiword string. These
should be using audit_log_string() instead of %s. I'm starting to frown
on %s in audit log more and more heavily these days, actually I don't
think I should let any more users of %s in at all. If you want I'll go
through and change all of these, but I want to make sure that you will
be ok with multiword string being either "" or translated. An example
of the problem I see would be in say ima_update_policy() where you have
const char *cause = "already exists"; Currently that record will get
emitted like:
blah cause=already exists blah
which screws up parsers. It should be:
blah cause="already exists" blah
make sense?
Oops, that should have been hyphenated, like "open_writers" below, but
quoting it, and "open writers", definitely makes more sense.
