In audit_rule_change(), audit_data_to_entry() is firstly invoked to
translate the payload data to the kernel's rule representation. In
audit_data_to_entry(), depending on the audit field type, an audit tree may
be created in audit_make_tree(), which eventually invokes kmalloc() to
allocate the tree.  Since this tree is a temporary tree, it will be then
freed in the following execution, e.g., audit_add_rule() if the message
type is AUDIT_ADD_RULE or audit_del_rule() if the message type is
AUDIT_DEL_RULE. However, if the message type is neither AUDIT_ADD_RULE nor
AUDIT_DEL_RULE, i.e., the default case of the switch statement, this
temporary tree is not freed.

To fix this issue, only allocate the tree when the type is AUDIT_ADD_RULE
or AUDIT_DEL_RULE.

The original conditions that led to the use of list_empty() to optimize
list_for_each_entry_rcu() in auditfilter.c and auditsc.c code have been
removed without removing the list_empty() call, but this code example
has been copied several times.  Remove the unnecessary list_empty()

In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch
cases where we are expecting to fall through.

This patch fixes the following warning:

kernel/auditfilter.c: In function ‘audit_krule_to_data’:
kernel/auditfilter.c:668:7: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
    if (krule-&gt;pflags &amp; AUDIT_LOGINUID_LEGACY &amp;&amp; !f-&gt;val) {
       ^
kernel/auditfilter.c:674:3: note: here
   default:
   ^~~~~~~

Warning level 3 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3

Notice that, in this particular case, the code comment is modified
in accordance with what GCC is expecting to find.

This patch is part of the ongoing efforts to enable
-Wimplicit-fallthrough.

<title>audit: remove unused actx param from audit_rule_match</title>

<content type='text'>
The audit_rule_match() struct audit_context *actx parameter is not used
by any in-tree consumers (selinux, apparmour, integrity, smack).

The audit context is an internal audit structure that should only be
accessed by audit accessor functions.

It was part of commit 03d37d25e0f9 ("LSM/Audit: Introduce generic
Audit LSM hooks") but appears to have never been used.

Remove it.

<title>audit: add syscall information to CONFIG_CHANGE records</title>

Tie syscall information to all CONFIG_CHANGE calls since they are all a
result of user actions.

Exclude user records from syscall context:
Since the function audit_log_common_recv_msg() is shared by a number of
AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE and the entire range of AUDIT_USER_* record types,
and since the AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE message type has been converted to a
syscall accompanied record type, special-case the AUDIT_USER_* range of
messages so they remain standalone records.

<title>audit: rename FILTER_TYPE to FILTER_EXCLUDE</title>

<content type='text'>
The AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE name is vague and misleading due to not describing
where or when the filter is applied and obsolete due to its available
filter fields having been expanded.

Userspace has already renamed it from AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE to
AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE without checking if it already exists.  The
userspace maintainer assures that as long as it is set to the same value
it will not be a problem since the userspace code does not treat
compiler warnings as errors.  If this policy changes then checks if it
already exists can be added at the same time.

This patch removes the restriction of the AUDIT_EXE field to only
SYSCALL filter and teaches audit_filter to recognize this field.

This makes it possible to write rule lists such as:

    auditctl -a exit,always [some general rule]
    # Filter out events with executable name /bin/exe1 or /bin/exe2:
    auditctl -a exclude,always -F exe=/bin/exe1
    auditctl -a exclude,always -F exe=/bin/exe2
