[PATCH] improve performance with many inode rules

Thu May 4 02:52:59 UTC 2006
The following patch improves audit syscall filtering performance when
the exit filter list contains many rules with an inode number field.
This implements Al Viro's idea from:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-April/msg00087.html
Rules containing a single inode field are placed in one of 32 lists,
determined by hashing the inode number. Rules containing more than
one inode field, or using an operator other than equality, remain in
the exit filter list.
At syscall exit time, rules in the exit filter list are evaluated
first. The inode number hash is then checked for matching rules if
any audit_names[] have been collected during syscall processing.
