From ce625a801664d8ed7344117bbb57510e4e0e872c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 14:24:46 -0400 Subject: AUDIT: Reduce contention in audit_serial() ... by generating serial numbers only if an audit context is actually _used_, rather than doing so at syscall entry even when the context isn't necessarily marked auditable.
