Processing overhead for selinux violation messages is costly. We want
to deal with bursts of violations, but we have no intent of allowing
that sustained burst to go unabated as there is a cost of processing
and battery usage.
Tunables in libaudit.h are:
AUDIT_RATE_LIMIT_DEFAULT 20 /* acceptable burst rate */
AUDIT_RATE_LIMIT_BURST_DURATION 10 /* number of seconds of burst */
AUDIT_RATE_LIMIT_MAX 5 /* acceptable sustained rate */
Since we can only asymptotically handle DEFAULT rate, we set an upper
threshold of half way between the MAX and DEFAULT rate.
Default kernel audit subsystem message rate is set to 20 a second.
If sepolicy exceeds 125 violation messages over up to ten seconds
(>=~12/s), tell kernel audit subsystem to drop the rate to 5 messages
a second. If rate drops below 50 messages over the past ten seconds
(<5/s), tell kernel it is ok to increase the burst rate back to 20
messages a second.

Point to log/log.h where necessary, define LOG_TAG where necessary.
Accept that private/android_logger.h is suitable replacement for
log/logger.h and android/log.h.
Correct liblog/README
Effectively a cleanup and controlled select revert of
'system/core: drop or replace log/logger.h' and
'system/core: Replace log/log.h with android/log.h'.
Test: compile

Should use android/log.h instead of log/log.h as a good example
to all others.

The shamu instabilities continued even after throttling SELinux denials
to 5/second. 5 denials per second is too low when doing device bringup,
and there have been some complaints about lost SELinux denials. See,
for example, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.selinux/21941
Bring the limit back up to 20/second to prevent dropping too many
denials on the floor.
This reverts commit a15db51bbf.

watchdog is triggering on shamu. This may be due to an excessive
number of SELinux denials. Drop the limit from 20/sec to 5/sec.

Impose a limit of 20 selinux denials per second. Denials beyond
that point don't add any value, and have the potential to cause
crashes or denial of service attacks.
Do some other misc cleanup while I'm here.

Initial commit for an audit daemon that writes kernel audit
messages to the Android logger. The daemon searches dmesg
for all lines that contain "audit" and writes them. Then
receiving the messages from the netlink socket.
It also formats the messages so they are compatable with
ausearch (type=<t> <m> format)
