Description Steve Grubb 2016-01-06 14:57:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
When the init_module syscall is audited, the main thing that we want is the module name. This is not recorded. Also when the debugfs module is loaded, we get 1000's of PATH records. We really don't want anything except the module name. Same thing with delete_module.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.6

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add "-a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load" to the audit rules
2. reboot the system
3. ausearch --start today -k mod-load -i | less
