If netlink_unicast() fails, requeue the skb back at the head of the queue
it just came from, instead of the tail. And do so unless we've exceeded
the audit_backlog limit; not according to some other arbitrary limit.

Most audit control messages are sent over netlink.In order to properly
log the identity of the sender of audit control messages, we would like
to add the loginuid to the netlink_creds structure, as per the attached
patch.

They don't seem to work correctly (investigation ongoing), but we don't
actually need to do it anyway.

Attached is a patch that corrects a signed/unsigned warning. I also noticed
that we needlessly init serial to 0. That only needs to occur if the kernel
was compiled without the audit system.

We log strings from userspace, such as arguments to open(). These could
be formatted to contain \n followed by fake audit log entries. Provide
a function for logging such strings, which gives a hex dump when the
string contains anything but basic printable ASCII characters. Use it
for logging filenames.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
