It looks like this should be safe already since if there is no context, it won't call into the real audit logging function and as you point out, this should never happen outside of a syscall. > > One approach we've done to make sure we don't create a trap for future > > changes in other subsystems, is avoid calling into other subsystems > > until later when we've dropped the locks, (see clock_was_set).

Paul/Richard, any thoughts? The other way to address this would be to have your timekeeping audit logging functions save the parameters you want to log somewhere in the struct audit_context union and have it print the record on syscall exit based on the presence of this type and applicable filters.
