[PATCH V2 1/3] audit: deprecate the AUDIT_FILTER_ENTRY filter

Richard Guy Briggs rgb at redhat.com
Sat Feb 10 02:40:30 UTC 2018


The audit entry filter has been long deprecated with userspace support
finally removed in audit-v2.6.7 and plans to remove kernel support have
existed since kernel-v2.6.31.
Remove it.

Passes audit-testsuite.
