Subject: [PATCH v11 04/12] asm/syscall.h: add syscall_get_arch
Adds a stub for a function that will return the AUDIT_ARCH_*
value appropriate to the supplied task based on the system
call convention.
For audit's use, the value can generally be hard-coded at the
audit-site. However, for other functionality not inlined into
syscall entry/exit, this makes that information available.
seccomp_filter is the first planned consumer and, as such,
the comment indicates a tie to HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER. That
is probably an unneeded detail.
Suggested-by: Roland McGrath <mcgrathr@...omium.org>
Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad@...omium.org>
v11: fixed improper return type (mcgrathr@...omium.org)
v10: introduced
