Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 01/13] audit: log all six syscall arguments in the SYSCALL record
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 14:55:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902145518.32DF91F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <b30076994d49fa393251c836b5a57a725f218572.1788351089.git.rrobaina@redhat.com>
> The SYSCALL record currently logs only four of the six syscall
> arguments (a0-a3). The remaining two are captured but silently
> discarded before reaching the audit context. This leads to the
> need for auxiliary records when audit-relevant data lands in the
> 5th or 6th argument of a syscall.
>
> Extend the SYSCALL record to log all six arguments, by adding
> arguments a4 and a5 (5th and 6th syscall arguments respectively)
> inline within the existing record. Also add the two new args to
> the audit rules switch case, so audit rules can filter on them.
>
> Rather than plumbing two more register arguments through every
> architecture's syscall entry path, change __audit_syscall_entry()
> to take a pointer to pt_regs and use syscall_get_arguments() to
> retrieve all six arguments.
