[PATCH v36 26/33] Audit: Allow multiple records in an audit_buffer
From: Casey Schaufler
Date: Thu Jun 09 2022 - 19:15:11 EST
Replace the single skb pointer in an audit_buffer with
a list of skb pointers. Add the audit_stamp information
to the audit_buffer as there's no guarantee that there
will be an audit_context containing the stamp associated
with the event. At audit_log_end() time create auxiliary
records (none are currently defined) as have been added
to the list. Functions are created to manage the skb list
in the audit_buffer.
