Dear Paul,
As you requested, I installed ubuntu 14.04 system for both 32bit and 64bit systems and
update their kernel version to the latest and I still see the problem occurring.
Here’s how I reproduced the problem. Currently, kernel version for those systems are
white-lab0@ubuntu-32bit:~/32bit_test$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu-32bit 3.16.0-30-generic #40~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 15 17:45:15 UTC 2015
i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
white-lab0@ubuntu-64bit:/tmp$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu-64bit 3.16.0-30-generic #40~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 15 17:43:14 UTC 2015
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I ran the same experiment and captured logs from both system.
* Ubuntu 64 bit system
white-lab0@ubuntu-64bit:/tmp$ grep -A3 -e "syscall=102.*a0=3" /tmp/audit.log
...

As you see from above, while Ubuntu 32 bit system could see 1304 messages, Ubuntu 64bit
system is still failing to received the message.
Please take a look at this issue and please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks for your help in advance

Performing the same test with a 32-bit binary on both a 32-bit and
64-bit host using the same, current kernel version would be helpful.
