Subject: [PATCH v2 00/13] audit: log all six syscall arguments in the SYSCALL record
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 11:43:33 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1788351089.git.rrobaina@redhat.com> (raw)
The SYSCALL record currently logs only four of the six syscall
arguments (a0-a3), silently discarding the remaining two. This
leads to the need for auxiliary records when audit-relevant
data lands in the 5th or 6th argument of a syscall.
This series extends the SYSCALL record to log all six arguments,
by adding arguments a4 and a5 inline within the existing record.
The audit testsuite runs successfully:
# make test
make -C tests test
Running as user root
with context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

All tests successful.
Result: PASS
Changes in v2:
- Rework the core change per Will Deacon's suggestion: instead of
plumbing all six arguments through every architecture's syscall
entry path, __audit_syscall_entry() now takes a struct pt_regs *
and retrieves the arguments itself via syscall_get_arguments().
- Per-arch patches now simply pass regs instead of the individual
argument registers.
- Fetch the arguments directly into context->argv, dropping the
temporary array.
