Yeah, the thought occurred to me, but we are clearly already in the
maybe-the-assumptions-are-wrong stage so I'm not going to rely on that
being 100%. We definitely need to track this down before we start
making to many more guesses about what is working and what is not.
I've been tracking down where the audit context isn't set where
we'd expect it to be, I've identified 5 cases:
1000 AUDIT_GET - Get Status
1001 AUDIT_SET - Set status enable/disable/auditd
1010 AUDIT_SIGNAL_INFO
1130 AUDIT_SERVICE_START
1131 AUDIT_SEVICE_STOP
These are all events that relate to the audit system itself.
It seems plausible that these really aren't syscalls and hence
shouldn't be expected to have an audit_context. I will create a
patch that treats these as the special cases I believe them to be.
