interactively in the !PREEMPT_RT case.

Carsten reported problems when running:

	taskset 01 chrt -f 1 sleep 1

from within rc.local on a F15 machine. The task stays running and
never gets on the run queue because some of the run queues have
rt_throttled=1 which does not go away. Works nice from a ssh login
shell. Disabling CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED solves that as well.

  audit: no leading space in audit_log_d_path prefix

  Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform
  audit: do not call audit_getname on error
  audit: only allow tasks to set their loginuid if it is -1
  audit: remove task argument to audit_set_loginuid
  audit: allow audit matching on inode gid
  audit: allow matching on obj_uid
  audit: remove audit_finish_fork as it can't be called
  audit: reject entry,always rules
  audit: inline audit_free to simplify the look of generic code
  audit: drop audit_set_macxattr as it doesn't do anything
  audit: inline checks for not needing to collect aux records
  audit: drop some potentially inadvisable likely notations
  ...

Use evil merge to fix up grammar mistakes in Kconfig file.

Bad speling and horrible grammar (and copious swearing) is to be
expected, but let's keep it to commit messages and comments, rather than
expose it to users in config help texts or printouts.

This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
MIPS platform and information in this
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.

Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
the patch is "obviously correct".

<title>audit: only allow tasks to set their loginuid if it is -1</title>

<id>633b45454503489209b0d9a45f9e3cd1b852c614</id>
<content type='text'>
At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL.  In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they
log in and it be impossible to ever reset.  We had to make it mutable even
after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have
to restart sshd.  Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which
logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid.

Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel
work the way it should.  With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed
to restart services directly.  The system will restart the service for
them.  Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and
sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions.

If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting
himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his
loginuid that should be used!  Since we have old systems I make this a
Kconfig option.

For checkpoint/restore we need auxilary features being compiled into the
kernel, such as additional prctl codes, /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/map_files and etc...
but same time these features are not mandatory for a regular kernel so
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE config symbol should bring a way to disable them all at
once if one wish to get rid of additional functionality.
