audit: filter PATH records keyed on filesystem magic
Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of PATH records to be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL records on a few modules when the following rule was in place for startup: -a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load Provide a method to ignore these large number of PATH records from overwhelming the logs if they are not of interest. Introduce a new filter list "AUDIT_FILTER_FS", with a new field type AUDIT_FSTYPE, which keys off the filesystem 4-octet hexadecimal magic identifier to filter specific filesystem PATH records. An example rule would look like: -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x74726163 -F key=ignore_tracefs -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x64626720 -F key=ignore_debugfs Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable tracefs and debugfs on boot from production systems.
