Hi Sven,

Thanks for catching this, my only guess is that the original code
assumed that a0 held the socket call number. In addition to the
kernel test robot errors that need fixing, I've made some comments
inline with the patch below ...

Not your code, but while you are making changes, perhaps make @args[6]
and unsigned long to match the network stack's code.

The approach we take when adding new fields to existing audit records
is to add them to the end of the record. Using your example in the
patch description, we would want to see the following record format
for SOCKETCALL:

type=SOCKETCALL msg=audit: nargs=3 a0=10 a1=3 a2=c call=1

See my note below for the non-compat version of socketcall(2).

I recognize that this isn't your code, but I think it might be better
to cleanup the arg count calculation passed as the second parameter.
Something like this not only looks cleaner, but it should be a bit
more robust against other kernel changes:

err = audit_socketcall(call, len / AL(1), a);

... it may also help resolve some of the kernel test robot errors you
are seeing.
