Audit messages should be at a higher level.  For example,
"hashing_error", "collect_data", "invalid_pcr".  In the "invalid_pcr"
case, the audit log contains the reason - "ToMToU" or "open_writers" -
as to why the measurement list doesn't match the PCR.

Here you would want "measuring_keys", "measuring_boot_cmdline" with
the reason it failed, not the function name
"process_buffer_measurement".

Userspace needs to be aware of the new audit messages.  Maybe include
samples of them in the cover letter.

thanks,

Mimi
