It is indeed part of the "additions" to LTP for audit testing, however, it
doesn't acctually use any of the LTP's functionality... so strictly
speaking its not an addition, more of a companion test. Although it is
clear from the code, the test's purpose is to inspect all files in /proc
and /sys to ensure the permissions are set correctly. There is no direct
interaction with audit, but it is required for the certification that these
permissions be correct, which is the purpose of this test :)
