Subject: [PATCH] [RFC,v2,1/1] speed up syscall rule match while exiting syscall
audit_filter_syscall() traverses struct list_head audit_filter_list to find
out whether current syscall match one rule. This takes o(n), which is not
necessary, specially for user who add a very few syscall rules. On the other
hand, user may not much care about rule add/delete speed. So do o(n)
calculate at rule changing, and ease the burden of audit_filter_syscall().
Define audit_syscall[NR_syscalls], every element stands for one syscall.
audit_filter_syscall() checks audit_syscall[NR_syscalls].
audit_syscall[n] == 0 indicates no rule audit syscall n, do a quick exit.
audit_syscall[n] > 0 indicates at least one rule audit syscall n.
audit_syscall[n] update when syscall rule changes.
