v2 cover audit: Tidy up audit_context and stop bprm recursion

This patchset is a clean up of the audit_aux_data and audit_context structures and the audit_bprm() call that was needlessly recursing, allocating more resources than necessary.

Eric W. Biederman (1):
audit: Kill the unused struct audit_aux_data_capset

Richard Guy Briggs (3):
audit: remove unused envc member of audit_aux_data_execve
audit: move audit_aux_data_execve contents into audit_context union
audit: call audit_bprm() only once to add AUDIT_EXECVE information

PATCH v2 3/4 audit: move audit_aux_data_execve contents into audit_context union

In reply to Richard Guy Briggs

audit_bprm() was being called to add an AUDIT_EXECVE record to the audit context every time search_binary_handler() was recursively called. Only one reference is necessary, so just update it. Move the the contents of audit_aux_data_execve into the union in audit_context, removing dependence on a kmalloc along the way.

Ah, nice, so we should not worry about kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) failure.

I am in no position to ack the changes in this area, but the whole series looks fine to me.

PATCH v2 4/4 audit: call audit_bprm() only once to add AUDIT_EXECVE information

In reply to Richard Guy Briggs

Move the audit_bprm() call from search_binary_handler() to exec_binprm(). This allows us to get rid of the mm member of struct audit_aux_data_execve since bprm->mm will equal current->mm.

This also mitigates the issue that ->argc could be modified by the load_binary() call in search_binary_handler().

audit_bprm() was being called to add an AUDIT_EXECVE record to the audit context every time search_binary_handler() was recursively called. Only one reference is necessary.
