Description of problem: The kernel audit subsytem needs to store information about sender of SIGUSR2 to the audit daemon. This is already done for SIGUSR1 and SIGTERM. So there should just be a simple modification to support sigusr2 like the others. This is needed because the audit daemon must record certain information about any attempt to change the running configuration of the audit daemon. This should be tested by "service auditd resume" followed by "ausearch --start recent -m DAEMON_RESUME". This will need user space support to work correctly.
