The syslog daemon itself generates this so that you know that both syslogd
and the system as a whole were up over this time period.  The default
syslogd behavior is to generate these marks every 20 minutes; you can
turn it off or alter the interval by editing /etc/default/syslogd to
add the flag "-m [interval]". See the sysklogd(8) for a few more details.

The AppArmor utilities don't intentionally make use of syslogd's
internal marks; instead, they generate their own unique markers to
indicate where they should begin looking at the logfile (when they
aren't looking at the entire logfile),

Thanks.
