An earlier change Roland had prodded me toward was adding a
syscall_get_arch() call to asm/syscall.h which returned the
appropriate audit arch value for the current calling convention. I
hate to suggest this, but should I go ahead and wire that up for x86
now, make it a dependency for HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER (and officially
part of asm/syscall.h) then let it trickle into existence? Maybe
something like:
static inline int syscall_get_arch(struct task_struct *task, struct
pt_regs *regs)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION
if (task_thread_info(task)->status & TS_COMPAT)
return AUDIT_ARCH_I386;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
return AUDIT_ARCH_X86_64;
#else
return AUDIT_ARCH_I386;
#endif
}
There would be no other callers, though, because everywhere AUDIT_ARCH
is used it is hardcoded as appropriate. Then when x32 comes along, it
can figure out where it belongs using tif status and/or regs.
I'm not sure what the appropriate way to add things to asm/syscall.h,
but I can certainly do a first cut in the x86 version.
thanks!
