From 5b28255278dd7e594c8dde317c2498b7dcbf900d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 18:20:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] audit: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file The mm->exe_file is currently serialized with mmap_sem (shared) in order to both safely (1) read the file and (2) audit it via audit_log_d_path(). Good users will, on the other hand, make use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissapear underneath us. Additionally, upon NULL return of get_mm_exe_file, we also call audit_log_format(ab, " exe=(null)").
