[PATCH] audit: add missing syscalls to signal class

From: Jeffrey Bencteux

Date: Wed Nov 11 2026 - 06:15:01 EST


The pidfd_send_signal(), rt_sigqueueinfo() and rt_tgsigqueueinfo()
system calls are missing from the AUDIT_CLASS_SIGNAL* class. It seems
to be used only in kernel/auditfilter.c to increment the audit_signals
counter.

This counter is used to determine if information related to a target
process of a syscall audit rule using signals, such as its pid,
should be logged (e54dc2431d740a79a6bd013babade99d71b1714f).

Information related to signals sent via these system calls are
currently not correctly logged. The current patch adds it to the
AUDIT_CLASS_SIGNAL* class.
