[PATCH 3.8 089/133] audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace.

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.22 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c92cdeb45eea38515e82187f48c2e4f435fb4e25 upstream.

sys_getppid() returns the parent pid of the current process in its own pid
namespace.  Since audit filters are based in the init pid namespace, a process
could avoid a filter or trigger an unintended one by being in an alternate pid
namespace or log meaningless information.

Switch to task_ppid_nr() for PPIDs to anchor all audit filters in the
init_pid_ns.
