Re: [PATCH v2] audit: unify audit_filter_{uring(), inode_name(), syscall()}

audit_filter_uring(), audit_filter_inode_name() are substantially similar to audit_filter_syscall(). Move the core logic to __audit_filter_op() which can be parametrized for all three. On a Skylakex system, getpid() latency (all results aggregated across 12 boot cycles): Min Mean Median Max pstdev (ns) (ns) (ns) (ns) - 196.63 207.86 206.60 230.98 (+- 3.92%) + 183.73 196.95 192.31 232.49 (+- 6.04%) Performance counter stats for 'bin/getpid' (3 runs) go from: cycles 805.58 ( +- 4.11% ) instructions 1654.11 ( +- .05% ) IPC 2.06 ( +- 3.39% ) branches 430.02 ( +- .05% ) branch-misses 1.55 ( +- 7.09% ) L1-dcache-loads 440.01 ( +- .09% ) L1-dcache-load-misses 9.05 ( +- 74.03% ) to: cycles 765.37 ( +- 6.66% ) instructions 1677.07 ( +- 0.04% ) IPC 2.20 ( +- 5.90% ) branches 431.10 ( +- 0.04% ) branch-misses 1.60 ( +- 11.25% ) L1-dcache-loads 521.04 ( +- 0.05% ) L1-dcache-load-misses 6.92 ( +- 77.60% ) (Both aggregated over 12 boot cycles.) The increased L1-dcache-loads are due to some intermediate values now coming from the stack. The improvement in cycles is due to a slightly denser loop (the list parameter in the list_for_each_entry_rcu() exit check now comes from a register rather than a constant as before.)
