[PATCH -v3 4/4] SELinux: use new cap_noaudit interface

From: Eric Paris
Date: Fri Nov 07 2008 - 10:24:45 EST


Currently SELinux jumps through some ugly hoops to not audit a capbility
check when determining if a process has additional powers to override
memory limits or when trying to read/write illegal file labels. Use
the new noaudit call instead.
