    audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace. · 1eff16e2
    Richard Guy Briggs authored
    commit c92cdeb4 upstream.
    
    sys_getppid() returns the parent pid of the current process in its own pid
    namespace.  Since audit filters are based in the init pid namespace, a process
    could avoid a filter or trigger an unintended one by being in an alternate pid
    namespace or log meaningless information.
    
    Switch to task_ppid_nr() for PPIDs to anchor all audit filters in the
    init_pid_ns.
