Merge branch 'stable-4.13' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit
Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "Things are relatively quiet on the audit front for v4.13, just five patches for a total diffstat of 102 lines. There are two patches from Richard to consistently record the POSIX capabilities and add the ambient capability information as well. I also chipped in two patches to fix a race condition with the auditd tracking code and ensure we don't skip sending any records to the audit multicast group. Finally a single style fix that I accepted because I must have been in a good mood that day. Everything passes our test suite, and should be relatively harmless, please merge for v4.13" * 'stable-4.13' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: make sure we never skip the multicast broadcast audit: fix a race condition with the auditd tracking code audit: style fix audit: add ambient capabilities to CAPSET and BPRM_FCAPS records audit: unswing cap_* fields in PATH records
