I have an app spamming my logcat messages and I assume it is responsible for slow operation of my device. The logs all look like this and there are thousands: 2022-01-18 18:02:19.204 646-646/? E/audit: type=1400 audit(1642345453.765:312963): avc: denied { read } for pid=1173 comm=87654F456789656Z646C1234567890 name="gpuclk" dev="sysfs" ino=74938 scontext=u:r:system_server:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:vendor_sysfs_kgsl_gpuclk:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 SEPF_SV-X825_11_0010 audit_filtered I used adb shell ps -A to list my processes and the spamming PID is the following line: vendor_audit 646 1 2142068 2592 0 0 S auditd Also I checked the other PID mentioned in the log, it's this one: system 1173 673 11627288 282980 0 0 S system_server *Note: I do not know what all these numbers in the log output are, I assume some random device identifiers and similar. Just to be on the safe side, I changed them before uploading, but I kept the length the same. I left the PID numbers* Device is a Galaxy Tab S5e with the preinstalled system, not rooted.
