lib/audit.c (kernel)

Hi

I'm working on audit/seccomp support for AArch64 as you see in

    [0/4] arm64: Add audit support
    https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-November/msg00040.html

ARM sub-system maintainer asked me whether it would be possible to re-work lib/audit.c to work with "compat" syscalls.

My question is, "Is this reasonable to think about?" (I know all the existing architectures already have their own implementations.)
I'd like to get any comments before going further.

One of possible solutions is
* Add lib/compat_audit.c, where
#include "asm/unistd32.h" <= it seems somewhat arch-specific.

  static unsigned dir_class[] = {
  ...

  int audit_classify_compat_syscall() {
  ...

  static int __init audit_compat_classes_init() {
  ...
  __initcall(audit_compat_classes_init);

* In lib/audit.c,
#include <asm/audit.h>
#include <asm/unistd.h>
...

  int audit_classify_arch(arch) {
  #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
      if (audit_is_compat(arch))
          return 1;
  #endif

      return 0;

}

  int audit_classify_syscall(abi, syscall) {
  #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
      if (audit_is_compat(arch))
          return audit_classify_compat_syscall(abi, syscall);
  #endif

   ...
  }

* In arch/*/include/asm/audit.h,
#inlcude <linux/audit.h>
...

  #define audit_is_compat(arch) \
      ((arch == AUDIT_ARCH_x) || (arch == AUDIT_ARCH_y))
