Hi Linus, A small set of patches for audit this time; just three in total and one is a spelling fix. The two patches with actual content are designed to help prevent new instances of auditd from displacing an existing, functioning auditd and to generate a log of the attempt. Not to worry, dead/stuck auditd instances can still be replaced by a new instance without problem.
Nothing controversial, and everything passes our regression suite; please pull for Linux 4.6. Thanks, -Paul --- The following changes since commit cb74ed278f8054fddf79ed930495b9e214f7c7b2: audit: always enable syscall auditing when supported and audit is enabled (2016-01-13 09:18:55 -0500) are available in the git repository at: git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit stable-4.6 for you to fetch changes up to fd97646b05957348e01be3d9de5c3d979b25c819: audit: Fix typo in comment (2016-02-08 11:25:39 -0500) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Guy Briggs (2): audit: stop an old auditd being starved out by a new auditd audit: log failed attempts to change audit_pid configuration Wei Yuan (1): audit: Fix typo in comment include/uapi/linux/audit.h | 1 + kernel/audit.c | 20 +++++++++++++++++++- kernel/audit_watch.c | 2 +- kernel/auditfilter.c | 6 +++--- 4 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- paul moore security @ redhat
