Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "Fourteen audit patches for v4.12 that span the full range of fixes, new features, and internal cleanups. We have a patches to move to 64-bit timestamps, convert refcounts from atomic_t to refcount_t, track PIDs using the pid struct instead of pid_t, convert our own private audit buffer cache to a standard kmem_cache, log kernel module names when they are unloaded, and normalize the NETFILTER_PKT to make the userspace folks happier. From a fixes perspective, the most important is likely the auditd connection tracking RCU fix; it was a rather brain dead bug that I'll take the blame for, but thankfully it didn't seem to affect many people (only one report). I think the patch subject lines and commit descriptions do a pretty good job of explaining the details and why the changes are important so I'll point you there instead of duplicating it here; as usual, if you have any questions you know where to find us. We also manage to take out more code than we put in this time, that always makes me happy :)" * 'stable-4.12' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: fix the RCU locking for the auditd_connection structure audit: use kmem_cache to manage the audit_buffer cache audit: Use timespec64 to represent audit timestamps audit: store the auditd PID as a pid struct instead of pid_t audit: kernel generated netlink traffic should have a portid of 0 audit: combine audit_receive() and audit_receive_skb() audit: convert audit_watch.count from atomic_t to refcount_t audit: convert audit_tree.count from atomic_t to refcount_t audit: normalize NETFILTER_PKT netfilter: use consistent ipv4 network offset in xt_AUDIT audit: log module name on delete_module audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_watch_handle_event() audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_mark_handle_event() audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_field_valid()
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
