Hello,
The fanotify interface allows user space daemons to make access
control decisions. Under common criteria requirements, we need to
optionally record decisions based on policy. This patch adds a bit mask,
FAN_AUDIT, that a user space daemon can 'or' into the response decision
which will tell the kernel that it made a decision and record it.
It would be used something like this in user space code:
response.response = FAN_DENY | FAN_AUDIT;
write(fd, &response, sizeof(struct fanotify_response));
When the syscall ends, the audit system will record the decision as a
AUDIT_FANOTIFY auxiliary record to denote that the reason this event
occurred is the result of an access control decision from fanotify
rather than DAC or MAC policy.
A sample event looks like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): item=0 name="./evil-ls"

Prior to using the audit flag, the developer needs to call
fanotify_init or'ing in FAN_AUDIT_ENABLE to ensure that the kernel
supports auditing. The calling process must also have the CAP_AUDIT_WRITE
capability.

App should not be able to enable audit if audit is not configured in kernel.
So there should be code that returns EINVAL for flag FAN_ENABLE_AUDIT
if CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not defined.
Same deal as flag FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS and kernel config
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS in fanotify_mark().
Perhaps it is better not to extend FAN_ALL_INIT_FLAGS and explicitly
test (flags & ~(FAN_ALL_INIT_FLAGS | FAN_ENABLE_AUDIT)) in fanotify_init()
under ifdef, as done in fanotify_mark()?

This one should be bool and it belongs inside fanotify_data union member.
Also, you need to translate it back to FAN_ENABLE_AUDIT in
fanotify_show_fdinfo().
