Hi Greg,

This patch series overhauls tty audit support. The goal was to simplify
and speed up tty auditing, which was a significant performance hit even
when disabled.

The main features of this series are:
* Remove reference counting; the purpose of reference counting the per-
  process tty_audit_buf was to prevent premature deletion if the
  buffer was in-use when tty auditing was exited for the process.
  However, since the process is single-threaded at tty_audit_exit(),
  the buffer cannot be in-use by another thread. Patch 11/15.
* Remove functionally dead code, such as tty_put_user(). Patch 2/15.
* Atomically modify tty audit enable/disable flags to support lockless
  read. Patch 9/15.

Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
    for patch 9/15 which removes an audit field from the signal_struct.

Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
    to confirm my understanding of the single-threadedness of
    if (group_dead) tty_audit_exit(), called from do_exit(). Patch 11/15

Requires: "tty: audit: Fix audit source"

Regards,

Peter Hurley (15):
