Pull audit update from Eric Paris:
 "Again we stayed pretty well contained inside the audit system.
  Venturing out was fixing a couple of function prototypes which were
  inconsistent (didn't hurt anything, but we used the same value as an
  int, uint, u32, and I think even a long in a couple of places).

  We also made a couple of minor changes to when a couple of LSMs called
  the audit system.  We hoped to add aarch64 audit support this go
  round, but it wasn't ready.

  I'm disappearing on vacation on Thursday.  I should have internet
  access, but it'll be spotty.  If anything goes wrong please be sure to
  cc rgb@redhat.com.  He'll make fixing things his top priority"

reaahead-collector abuses the audit logging facility to discover which files
are accessed at boot time to make a pre-load list

Add a tuning option to audit_backlog_wait_time so that if auditd can't keep up,
or gets blocked, the callers won't be blocked.

Bump audit_status API version to "2".

Re-named confusing local variable names (status_set and status_get didn't agree
with their command type name) and reduced their scope.

Future-proof API changes by not depending on the exact size of the audit_status
struct and by adding an API version field.

This is a new audit feature which only grants processes with
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL the ability to unset their loginuid.  They cannot
directly set it from a valid uid to another valid uid.  The ability to
unset the loginuid is nice because a priviledged task, like that of
container creation, can unset the loginuid and then priv is not needed
inside the container when a login daemon needs to set the loginuid.

The audit_status structure was not designed with extensibility in mind.
Define a new AUDIT_SET_FEATURE message type which takes a new structure
of bits where things can be enabled/disabled/locked one at a time.  This
structure should be able to grow in the future while maintaining forward
and backward compatibility (based loosly on the ideas from capabilities
and prctl)

This does not actually add any features, but is just infrastructure to
allow new on/off types of audit system features.

Messages of type AUDIT_USER_TTY were being formatted to 1024 octets,
truncating messages approaching MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH (8970 octets).

Set the formatting to 8560 characters, given maximum estimates for prefix and
suffix budgets.

See the problem discussion:

And the new size rationale:
