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
        on   system  Fedora

 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.
