Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger
  pile for v4.10.

  The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue
  to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread
  that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits
  the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd).

  While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of
  other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far
  things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us
  to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid
  disabling irq for netns id").

  The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented
  in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering
  support"

* 'stable-4.10' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: use proper refcount locking on audit_sock
  netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id
  audit: don't ever sleep on a command record/message
  audit: handle a clean auditd shutdown with grace
  audit: wake up kauditd_thread after auditd registers
  audit: rework audit_log_start()
  audit: rework the audit queue handling
  audit: rename the queues and kauditd related functions
  audit: queue netlink multicast sends just like we do for unicast sends
  audit: fixup audit_init()
  audit: move kaudit thread start from auditd registration to kaudit init (#2)
  audit: add support for session ID user filter
  audit: fix formatting of AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE events
  audit: skip sessionid sentinel value when auto-incrementing
  audit: tame initialization warning len_abuf in audit_log_execve_info
  audit: less stack usage for /proc/*/loginuid

Define AUDIT_SESSIONID in the uapi and add support for specifying user
filters based on the session ID.  Also add the new session ID filter
to the feature bitmap so userspace knows it is available.

Unfortunately we record PIDs in audit records using a variety of
methods despite the correct way being the use of task_tgid_nr().
This patch converts all of these callers, except for the case of
AUDIT_SET in audit_receive_msg() (see the comment in the code).

There is a double fetch problem in audit_log_single_execve_arg()
where we first check the execve(2) argumnets for any "bad" characters
which would require hex encoding and then re-fetch the arguments for
logging in the audit record[1].  Of course this leaves a window of
opportunity for an unsavory application to munge with the data.

This patch reworks things by only fetching the argument data once[2]
into a buffer where it is scanned and logged into the audit
records(s).  In addition to fixing the double fetch, this patch
improves on the original code in a few other ways: better handling
of large arguments which require encoding, stricter record length
checking, and some performance improvements (completely unverified,
but we got rid of some strlen() calls, that's got to be a good
thing).

As part of the development of this patch, I've also created a basic
regression test for the audit-testsuite, the test can be tracked on
GitHub at the following link:

 * https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-testsuite/issues/25

[1] If you pay careful attention, there is actually a triple fetch
problem due to a strnlen_user() call at the top of the function.

[2] This is a tiny white lie, we do make a call to strnlen_user()
prior to fetching the argument data.  I don't like it, but due to the
way the audit record is structured we really have no choice unless we
copy the entire argument at once (which would require a rather
wasteful allocation).  The good news is that with this patch the
kernel no longer relies on this strnlen_user() value for anything
beyond recording it in the log, we also update it with a trustworthy
value whenever possible.
