Cover letter [PATCH 0/5][RFC][v3] steps to make audit pid namespace-safe
This patchset is a revival of some of Eric Biederman's work to make audit pid-namespace-safe.
In a couple of places, audit was printing PIDs in the task's pid namespace rather than relative to the audit daemon's pid namespace, which currently is init_pid_ns.
It also allows processes to log audit user messages in their own pid namespaces, which was not previously permitted. Please see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947530 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/1160372 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786024
Part of the cleanup here involves deprecating task->pid and task->tgid, which should be accessed using their respective helper functions.

Richard Guy Briggs (5):
pid: get pid_t ppid of task in init_pid_ns
audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace.
audit: store audit_pid as a struct pid pointer
audit: anchor all pid references in the initial pid namespace
audit: allow user processes to log from another PID namespace
