[PATCH 1/1] audit_alloc: clear TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT if !audit_context

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Aug 07 2013 - 14:11:27 EST


If audit_filter_task() nacks the new thread it makes sense
to clear TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT which can be copied from parent
by dup_task_struct().

A wrong TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is not really bad, but it triggers
the "slow" audit paths in entry.S.
