From 7ac86265dc8f665cc49d6e60a125e608cd2fca14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:25:28 -0400 Subject: audit: allow audit code to satisfy getname requests from its names_list Currently, if we call getname() on a userland string more than once, we'll get multiple copies of the string and multiple audit_names records. Add a function that will allow the audit_names code to satisfy getname requests using info from the audit_names list, avoiding a new allocation and audit_names records.
