Subject: [PATCH 00/13] audit: log all six syscall arguments in the SYSCALL record
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:02:50 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1786626275.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
 chmod +x */test
 Running as   user    root
        with context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
        on   system  Fedora
