Merge tag 'audit-pr-20180403' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit
Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "We didn't have anything to send for v4.16, but we're back with a little more than usual for v4.17. Eleven patches in total, most fall into the small fix category, but there are three non-trivial changes worth calling out: - the audit entry filter is being removed after deprecating it for quite a while (years of no one really using it because it turns out to be not very practical) - created our own version of "__mutex_owner()" because the locking folks were upset we were using theirs - improved our handling of kernel command line parameters to make them more forgiving - we fixed auditing of symlink operations Everything passes the audit-testsuite and as of a few minutes ago it merges well with your tree" * tag 'audit-pr-20180403' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit: audit: add refused symlink to audit_names audit: remove path param from link denied function audit: link denied should not directly generate PATH record audit: make ANOM_LINK obey audit_enabled and audit_dummy_context audit: do not panic on invalid boot parameter audit: track the owner of the command mutex ourselves audit: return on memory error to avoid null pointer dereference audit: bail before bug check if audit disabled audit: deprecate the AUDIT_FILTER_ENTRY filter audit: session ID should not set arch quick field pointer audit: update bugtracker and source URIs
