[RFC,V1,06/12] audit: add support for non-syscall auxiliary records

Commit Message

Richard Guy Briggs March 1, 2018, 7:41 p.m. UTC

Standalone audit records have the timestamp and serial number generated
on the fly and as such are unique, making them standalone.  This is a
prototype of a method to generate a local audit context that will be
used only for a standalone record and its auxiliary record.  The context
is discarded immediately after the local associated records are
produced.
