Ah, in that case, please ignore the patch I just sent. Heh.

Ah! I think I understand what you mean now. If audit_dummy_context(),
then the syscall, arch, and a0-a4 were not already collected. Gotcha.

How do you envision it looking? I still see it as two distinct events
(the syscall itself, and the rejection). Would you want those details
added to the context structure to be reported at ..._exit() time? It
seems like context->type couldn't be used to see if those fields were
valid.

Something like:

void __audit_seccomp(unsigned long syscall, long signr)
{
        struct audit_buffer *ab;

        if (!audit_dummy_context()) {
                struct audit_context *context = current->audit_context;
                context->syscall_signr = signr;
                context->syscall_ip = KSTK_EIP(current);
                return;
        }

        ab = audit_log_start(NULL, GFP_KERNEL, AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND);
        audit_log_abend(ab, "seccomp", signr);
        audit_log_format(ab, " syscall=%ld", syscall);
        audit_log_format(ab, " ip=0x%lx", KSTK_EIP(current));
        audit_log_end(ab);
}

And then report syscall_ip and syscall_signr if syscall_signr != 0 in
the _exit()? I think everything else from audit_log_abend() will end
up in the _exit() report.

Well, I think the abend reporting is nice; I'd hate to see that
totally removed. The seccomp case is a bit different, I agree. I could
see it either way.
