Yes, that is what I mean and you are right. You shouldn't push the
syscall in this record either. If !audit_dummy_context() you are
already going to get arch, syscall, and a0-a4 in the associated audit
record. Please do not duplicate that info.
It might make sense to have a separate audit_seccomp() path when
audit_dummy_context() which includes arch, syscall, and a0-a4.
It is my fault (85e7bac3) that we have syscall at all, but I'm on a new
crusade to remove audit record duplication. So I'd happily see a patch
in this series that removes that instead of adds to it.
