[PATCH v4 1/9] capability: introduce new capable flag NODENYAUDIT

From: Christian Göttsche
Date: Thu May 11 2023 - 10:27:01 EST


Introduce a new capable flag, CAP_OPT_NODENYAUDIT, to not generate
an audit event if the requested capability is not granted. This will be
used in a new capable_any() functionality to reduce the number of
necessary capable calls.

Handle the flag accordingly in AppArmor and SELinux.
