Re: Porting audit: implement generic feature setting and retrieving to Android kernel

Nathan, The "robust port that Google has" was done by me, so we can always use that :-P The newest features that i back-ported from the upstream kernel were for a separate feature need that came about when I was at Samsung, which was the need to send the kernel messages to both kmsg and a userspace auditd. Eric created a patch for a more generic feature setting and retrieval implementation on the kernel side, that I rebased my kernel patch for the "always send to kmsg feature" onto. They were tested on the desktop, seemed to be fine. I just haven't had the time to get back to the Android port to test it; likely it will be fine. I just wanted to keep Eric/community abreast of my porting activity. FYI I saw your port early on, the reason I wrote one from scratch was due to the license issues.
