Some table unregister actions seem to be initiated by the kernel to
garbage collect unused tables that are not initiated by any userspace
actions. It was found to be necessary to add the subject credentials to
cover this case to reveal the source of these actions. A sample record:
The uid, auid, tty, ses and exe fields have not been included since they
are in the SYSCALL record and contain nothing useful in the non-user
context.
type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(2020-03-11 21:25:21.491:269) : table=nat family=bridge entries=0 op=unregister pid=153 subj=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 comm=kworker/u4:2
Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com>

Changelog:
v6
- remove uid, auid fields as duplicates or unset
v5
- rebase on upstreamed ghak28 on audit/next v5.7-rc1
- remove tty, ses and exe fields as duplicates or unset
- drop upstreamed patches 1&2 from set
v4
- rebase on audit/next v5.7-rc1
- fix checkpatch.pl errors/warnings in 1/3 and 2/3
v3
- rebase on v5.6-rc1 audit/next
- change audit_nf_cfg to audit_log_nfcfg
- squash 2,3,4,5 to 1 and update patch descriptions
- add subject credentials to cover garbage collecting kernel threads
v2
- Rebase (audit/next 5.5-rc1) to get audit_context access and ebt_register_table ret code
- Split x_tables and ebtables updates
- Check audit_dummy_context
- Store struct audit_nfcfg params in audit_context, abstract to audit_nf_cfg() call
- Restore back to "table, family, entries" from "family, table, entries"
- Log unregistration of tables

Self-NACK. I forgot to remove cred and tty declarations.

FWIW, that record looks good.

It's severely broken

This is unusable. This is why the bug was filed in the first place.

Have you applied this patchset?

AUDIT_EVENT_LISTENER is also broken without this first patch.
