William Roberts 29d238d2a8 logd: selinux auditd initial commit
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)

Modified: Mark Salyzyn <salyzyn@google.com>

- do not start auditd
- merge into logd, stripping unnecessary file logging.
- Convert headers and code to support C++
- Fix bugs in libaudit
- squash timestamp (replace with 0.0) due to duplication
- squash pid due to duplication
- squash comm due to duplication

Auditd Daemon
The audit daemon is a simplified version of its desktop
counterpart designed to gather the audit logs from the
audit kernel subsystem. The audit subsystem of the kernel
includes Linux Security Modules (LSM) messages as well.
To enable the audit subsystem, you must add this to your
kernel config:
CONFIG_AUDIT=y
To enable a LSM, you must consult that LSM's documentation, the
example below is for SELinux:
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
This does not include possible dependencies that may need to be
satisfied for that particular LSM.
