X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-snapdragon-4.4.0-1029.32~1857
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e19f9dbf7b52f39b40383457a5bc07b39d251e5;p=mirror_ubuntu-zesty-kernel.git

UBUNTU: SAUCE: kernel: Add noaudit variant of ns_capable()

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1465724

When checking the current cred for a capability in a specific user
namespace, it isn't always desirable to have the LSMs audit the check.
This patch adds a noaudit variant of ns_capable() for when those
situations arise.

The common logic between ns_capable() and the new ns_capable_noaudit()
is moved into a single, shared function to keep duplicated code to a
minimum and ease maintainability.
