 *	  2) Minimal run-time overhead:
 *	     a) Minimal when syscall auditing is disabled (audit_enable=0).
 *	     b) Small when syscall auditing is enabled and no audit record
 *		is generated (defer as much work as possible to record
 *		generation time):
 *		i) context is allocated,
 *		ii) names from getname are stored without a copy, and
 *		iii) inode information stored from path_lookup.
 *	  3) Ability to disable syscall auditing at boot time (audit=0).
 *	  4) Usable by other parts of the kernel (if audit_log* is called,
 *	     then a syscall record will be generated automatically for the
 *	     current syscall).
 *	  5) Netlink interface to user-space.
 *	  6) Support low-overhead kernel-based filtering to minimize the
 *	     information that must be passed to user-space.
 *
 * Audit userspace, documentation, tests, and bug/issue trackers:

 * it has to copy it anyways.

	 * using skb_get() is necessary because non-standard mods are made to
	 * the skb by the original kaudit unicast socket send routine.  The

	 * require co-ordinating a change in the established protocol between
	 * the kaudit kernel subsystem and the auditd userspace code.  There is
	 * no reason for new multicast clients to continue with this
	 * non-compliance.
