Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] fanotify: Allow user space to pass back additional audit info

The Fanotify API can be used for access control by requesting permission
event notification. The user space tooling that uses it may have a
complicated policy that inherently contains additional context for the
decision. If this information were available in the audit trail, policy
writers can close the loop on debugging policy. Also, if this additional
information were available, it would enable the creation of tools that
can suggest changes to the policy similar to how audit2allow can help
refine labeled security.

This patchset defines a new flag (FAN_INFO) and new extensions that
define additional information which are appended after the response
structure returned from user space on a permission event.  The appended
information is organized with headers containing a type and size that
can be delegated to interested subsystems.  One new information type is
defined for audit rule number.  

A newer kernel will work with an older userspace and an older kernel
will behave as expected and reject a newer userspace, leaving it up to
the newer userspace to test appropriately and adapt as necessary.

The audit function was updated to log the additional information in the
AUDIT_FANOTIFY record. The following is an example of the new record
format:

type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1600385147.372:590): resp=2 fan_type=1 fan_info=3F

v3:
- 1/3 switch {,__}audit_fanotify() from uint to u32
- 2/3 re-add fanotify_get_response switch case FAN_DENY: to avoid unnecessary churn
- add FAN_EXTRA flag to indicate more info and break with old kernel

- change extra_info_buf to union
- move low-cost fd check earlier
- change FAN_RESPONSE_INFO_AUDIT_NONE to FAN_RESPONSE_INFO_NONE
- switch to u32 for internal and __u32 for uapi

v4:
- scrap FAN_INVALID_RESPONSE_MASK in favour of original to catch invalid response == 0
- introduce FANOTIFY_RESPONSE_* macros
- uapi: remove union
- keep original struct fanotify_response, add fan_info infra starting with audit reason
- uapi add struct fanotify_response_info_header{type/pad/len} and struct fanotify_response_info_audit_rule{hdr/rule}
- rename fan_ctx= to fan_info=, FAN_EXTRA to FAN_INFO
- change event struct from type/buf to len/buf
- enable multiple info extensions in one message
- hex encode fan_info in __audit_fanotify()
- record type FANOTIFY extended to "type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1659730979.839:284): resp=1 fan_type=0 fan_info=3F"
