Re: [PATCH 3/3] audit: Audit proc cmdline value

During an audit event, cache and print the value of the process's cmdline value (proc/<pid>/cmdline). This is useful in situations where processes are started via fork'd virtual machines where the comm field is incorrect. Often times, setting the comm field still is insufficient as the comm width is not very wide and most virtual machine "package names" do not fit. Also, during execution, many threads have thier comm field set as well. By tying it back to the global cmdline value for the process, audit records will be more complete in systems with these properties. An example of where this is useful and applicable is in the realm of Android. The cached cmdline is tied to the lifecycle of the audit_context structure and is built on demand.
