Subject: audit: Allow auditd to set pid to 0 to end auditing
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4086f7cf0c3e2fe275a2a18dc25749df348c0cdb;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

audit: Allow auditd to set pid to 0 to end auditing


[ Upstream commit 33e8a907804428109ce1d12301c3365d619cc4df ]

The API to end auditing has historically been for auditd to set the
pid to 0. This patch restores that functionality.
