[PATCH 6/9] LSM/Audit: Introduce generic Audit LSM hooks

Sat Mar 1 20:00:05 UTC 2008


Introduce a generic Audit interface for security modules
by adding the following new LSM hooks:

audit_rule_init(field, op, rulestr, lsmrule)
audit_rule_known(krule)
audit_rule_match(secid, field, op, rule, actx)
audit_rule_free(rule)

Those hooks are only available if CONFIG_AUDIT is enabled.
