Subject: [GIT PULL] Audit fixes for 3.19

Hi Linus,

Four patches to fix various problems with the audit subsystem, all are fairly 
small and straightforward.  One patch fixes a problem where we weren't using 
the correct gfp allocation flags (GFP_KERNEL regardless of context, oops), one 
patch fixes a problem with old userspace tools (this was broken for a while), 
one patch fixes a problem where we weren't recording pathnames correctly, and 
one fixes a problem with PID based filters.  In general I don't think there is 
anything controversial with this patchset, and it fixes some rather 
unfortunate bugs; the allocation flag one can be particularly scary looking 
for users.  Please pull for the next v3.19-rcX.

Thanks,
-Paul
