    Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
     "Fourteen audit patches for v4.12 that span the full range of fixes,
      new features, and internal cleanups.
    
      We have a patches to move to 64-bit timestamps, convert refcounts from
      atomic_t to refcount_t, track PIDs using the pid struct instead of
      pid_t, convert our own private audit buffer cache to a standard
      kmem_cache, log kernel module names when they are unloaded, and
      normalize the NETFILTER_PKT to make the userspace folks happier.
    
      From a fixes perspective, the most important is likely the auditd
      connection tracking RCU fix; it was a rather brain dead bug that I'll
      take the blame for, but thankfully it didn't seem to affect many
      people (only one report).
    
      I think the patch subject lines and commit descriptions do a pretty
      good job of explaining the details and why the changes are important
      so I'll point you there instead of duplicating it here; as usual, if
      you have any questions you know where to find us.
    
      We also manage to take out more code than we put in this time, that
      always makes me happy :)"
