[PATCH v24 21/25] audit: add support for non-syscall auxiliary records

Casey Schaufler
2021-01-27T00:20:37Z

Standalone audit records have the timestamp and serial number generated
on the fly and as such are unique, making them standalone. This new
function audit_alloc_local() generates a local audit context that will
be used only for a standalone record and its auxiliary record(s). The
context is discarded immediately after the local associated records are
produced.
