This has now been broken in -next for about a month with a fix available
and since the merge window the arm64 audit support is in mainline so the
fix can be directly applied without cross tree issues (the audit changes
didn't get sent during the merge window).  Catalin and Will have also
indicated that they want to remove the workaround that's in -next
currently to allow defconfig to build which would make the situation
even more pressing.

Do we have any idea when it will be possible to get a fix into -next?

I just pushed a clean copy of Linus' tree to my audit tree.  So my API
change is gone when he next pull for -next.  I'm on vacation this week
and really wanted to get it fixed right before I left.  It didn't
happen.  when I push a new tree into next I will pick up the arm audit
patch and fix the api in my tree.

It will be able to get into -next after eparis has reset his tree to
reference v3.16 targetting v3.18-rc1.  That should be in just over a
week's time.
