A regression was caused by commit 780a7654cee8:
audit: Make testing for a valid loginuid explicit.
(which in turn attempted to fix a regression caused by e1760bd)
When audit_krule_to_data() fills in the rules to get a listing, there was a
missing clause to convert back from AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to AUDIT_LOGINUID.
This broke userspace by not returning the same information that was sent and
expected.
The rule:
auditctl -a exit,never -F auid=-1
gives:
auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,never f24=0 syscall=all
when it should give:
LIST_RULES: exit,never auid=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=all
Tag it so that it is reported the same way it was set.
Note: move the field validation call ahead of the mutation code to have it
work on the original field set.

Sorry for the delays, I'm working on cleaning out the audit bug/patch backlog
and it took me a little while to get to this topic ... so, this looks a messy
little problem; Richard, could you help me understand things a bit better?
As I understand it, when old userspace would set a filter with AUDIT_LOGINUID
but when it listed the audit rules in the kernel it would see
AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET, yes? This patch attempts to fix this by marking a legacy
userspace with the AUDIT_LOGINUID_LEGACY bitmask on the internal kernel
representation so that when the rules are dumped to userspace the
AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET rule can be rewritten as AUDIT_LOGINUID, yes?
However, there are some things that are not immediately obvious to me:
* Why are we using a bit in audit_field->type to indicate the legacy nature of
userspace?
* Why are we reusing the AUDIT_NEGATE bit in the type field to indicate a
legacy userspace?
* Why are we not using something in audit_krule? Without looking to in depth
it would appear that there are multiple fields which might be useful, e.g.
"vers_ops", "flags"?
