Hi Steve\Paul,

Sample audit messages:

[ 6.303048] audit: type=1804 audit(1592506281.627:2): pid=1 uid=0
auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel op=measuring_key
cause=ENOMEM comm="swapper/0" name=".builtin_trusted_keys" res=0
errno=-12

My only concern is that auditing -ENOMEM will put additional memory
pressure on the system. ÂI'm not sure if this is a concern and, if so,
how it should be handled.

Do you have any concerns with respect to adding audit messages in low memory conditions?
