Subject: audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace.
X-Git-Tag: v3.15-rc1~18^2~15
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c92cdeb45eea38515e82187f48c2e4f435fb4e25;p=pandora-kernel.git

audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace.

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.
