IPE, like SELinux, supports a permissive mode. This mode allows policy
authors to test and evaluate IPE policy without it effecting their
programs. When the mode is changed, a 1404 AUDIT_MAC_STATUS
be reported.

This patch adds the following audit records:

     audit: MAC_STATUS enforcing=0 old_enforcing=1 auid=4294967295
       ses=4294967295 enabled=1 old-enabled=1 lsm=ipe res=1
     audit: MAC_STATUS enforcing=1 old_enforcing=0 auid=4294967295
       ses=4294967295 enabled=1 old-enabled=1 lsm=ipe res=1

The audit record only emit when the value from the user input is
different from the current enforce value.

v2:
   + Split evaluation loop, access control hooks,
     and evaluation loop from policy parser and userspace
     interface to pass mailing list character limit

v3:
   + Move ipe_load_properties to patch 04.
   + Remove useless 0-initializations
   + Prefix extern variables with ipe_
   + Remove kernel module parameters, as these are
     exposed through sysctls.
   + Add more prose to the IPE base config option
     help text.
   + Use GFP_KERNEL for audit_log_start.
   + Remove unnecessary caching system.
   + Remove comments from headers
   + Use rcu_access_pointer for rcu-pointer null check
   + Remove usage of reqprot; use prot only.
   + Move policy load and activation audit event to 03/12

v4:
   + Remove sysctls in favor of securityfs nodes
   + Re-add kernel module parameters, as these are now
     exposed through securityfs.
   + Refactor property audit loop to a separate function.

v5:
   + fix minor grammatical errors
   + do not group rule by curly-brace in audit record,
     reconstruct the exact rule.

v6:
   + No changes

v7:
   + Further split lsm creation into a separate commit from the
     evaluation loop and audit system, for easier review.
   + Propagating changes to support the new ipe_context structure in the
     evaluation loop.
   + Split out permissive functionality into a separate patch for easier
     review.
   + Remove permissive switch compile-time configuration option - this
     is trivial to add later.

v8:
   + Remove "IPE" prefix from permissive audit record
   + align fields to the linux-audit field dictionary. This causes the
     following fields to change:
       enforce -> permissive

   + Remove duplicated information correlated with syscall record, that
     will always be present in the audit event.
   + Change audit types:
     + AUDIT_TRUST_STATUS -> AUDIT_MAC_STATUS
       + There is no significant difference in meaning between
         these types.

v9:
   + Clean up ipe_context related code

v10:
   + Change audit format to comform with the existing format selinux is
     using
   + Remove the audit record emission during init to align with selinux,
     which does not perform this action.

v11:
   + Remove redundant code

Why the local @enforcing variable?  Why not:

   if (!READ_ONCE(enforce))
     rc = 0;


Yes the variable is unnecessary, I will remove it.
