Package: strace Version: 4.5.20-2.3 Severity: wishlist When debugging SE Linux problems it's often necessary to discover which system call a program executed to trigger an audit message as the kernel logs the syscall number. People who use the kernel audit facility without using SE Linux will also have the same problem.
In the past I've just grepped the strace source, but that's inconvenient. cut -f 2,3 -d\" ./linux/x86_64/syscallent.h | sed -e 's/".*\/\* / /' -e 's/ \*\///' I think that the ideal solution would be to have the Debian build process use shell script such as the above to make lists of system call names and numbers and the strace package should supply such lists as well as a script to grep them. For a slight addition to complexity such a script would ideally support both i386 and amd64 syscalls on each of those platforms. I would be happy to write scripts for these things if you let me know what type of script will be acceptable. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages strace depends on: ii libc6 2.19-4 strace recommends no packages. strace suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
