Subject: [PATCH] audit: clear thread flag for new children
From: Tony Jones <tonyj@...e.de>
Minor performance enhancement.
Thread flag TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is not cleared for new children when audit
context creation has been disabled (auditctl -e0). This can cause new children
forked from a parent created when audit was enabled to not take the fastest
syscall path thru entry.S
