[PATCH 07/13] mips: pass all six syscall args to audit_syscall_entry()

From: Ricardo Robaina

Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 13:08:18 EST


Use syscall_get_arguments() to retrieve all six arguments portably.
On 32-bit MIPS (O32 ABI), arguments 5 and 6 live on the user stack
rather than in registers, so direct register access would be wrong.
