Hi Richard,

The audit-related parameters in struct task_struct should ideally be
collected together and accessed through a standard audit API.
Collect the existing loginuid, sessionid and audit_context together in a
new struct audit_task_info called "audit" in struct task_struct.
Use kmem_cache to manage this pool of memory.
Un-inline audit_free() to be able to always recover that memory.

Overall I am not sure if keeping task_struct a bit smaller is worth
the added complexity, but I guess that is just me.
Anyway, couple of nitpicks. Please feel free to ignore, and my apologies
if some of all of the comments are duplicates.

Looks kind of terrible with the repeated check if context is NULL.
Maybe reorder ?

if (context) {
/* do all the context work */
}
kmem_cache_free(audit_task_cache, tsk->audit);

If "info" is really needed, ie if tsk (and tsk->audit) can be accessed
from another thread in parallel, I'd be a bit concerned about the lack
of sync() or similar after clearing tsk->audit.
Another option might have been to separate audit_free() into
audit_free_context() and audit_free_info().

audit_alloc() is called a bit later and sets p->audit, so I don't think
this is really necessary.
