There are a few places where we test the current process' capability set to decide if we're going to be more or less generous with resource acquisition for a system call. If the process doesn't have the capability, we can continue the call, albeit in a degraded mode. These are /not/ the actual security decisions, so it's not proper to use capable(), which (in certain selinux setups) causes audit messages to get logged. Switch them to has_capability_noaudit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
