NETFILTER_CFG record generation was inconsistent for x_tables and ebtables configuration changes. The call was needlessly messy and there were supporting records missing at times while they were produced when not requested. Simplify the logging call into a new audit_log_nfcfg call. Honour the audit_enabled setting while more consistently recording information including supporting records by tidying up dummy checks. Add an op= field that indicates the operation being performed (register or replace). Here is the enhanced sample record: type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(1580905834.919:82970): table=filter family=2 entries=83 op=replace Generate audit NETFILTER_CFG records on ebtables table registration. Previously this was being done for x_tables registration and replacement operations and ebtables table replacement only.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
