Hi All  
I want to use audit\_log plugin in percona 5.6,but I found that audit\_log plugin in percona 5.6 don’t support include/exclude databases, thus audit\_log plugin in percona 5.7 provide this feature.  
If I can do this work for percona 5.6 in kernel just change the code in audit\_log plugin? if not ,why?  
thanks all.
