Chromium generates many kernel audit messages

Reported by qui...@gmail.com, May 5 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use chromium

What is the expected behavior?
No kernel messages

What went wrong?
I see messages like the following in the kernel log about 1 per second.

May  4 23:22:57 cerberus kernel: [410461.001883] audit: type=1326 audit(1462418577.785:303305): auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=1 pid=2191 comm="chromium" exe="/usr/lib/chromium/chromium" sig=0 arch=c000003e syscall=2 compat=0 ip=0x7fe56e79ef5f code=0x50000

This is potentially a security issue since it obscures all the other messages in the log due to volume.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.94  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

Debian testing up to date as of 5/4/16

Hi, thanks for the report!

I don't think it's a security issue, but it does seem like a bug. Re-triaging as such.
