lsm_list_modules

Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list

long lsm_list_modules(u64 *ids, u32 *size, u32 flags);
Number (x86-64) 461
ABI common
Kernel entry point sys_lsm_list_modules

This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.

Lists the ids of the active Linux security modules.

Name Type Meaning
ids (arg0) u64 * Pointer to ids.
size (arg1) u32 * Size in bytes.
flags (arg2) u32 Option flags that change the behavior of the call.

On success: the number of module ids returned.

In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.

Raw return Name Meaning
-7 E2BIG An argument list or structure is too large.

lsm_list_modules(2) on man7.org

Coverage mark: Implemented. Every pointer argument has a capture rule in the pinned kernel patch and none of them records a “no decoder”, “address only” or “not observed” gap on any code path. Individual values can still be incomplete on a particular call; see the capture statuses.

Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).

Argument When How Recorded field key Condition
ids (arg0) Entry the pointer itself, as a raw word args.0, args.raw[0]
↳ pointee Exit array of u64 module ids, length from the written size lsm.output the call did not fail with -E2BIG
size (arg1) Entry the pointer itself, as a raw word args.1, args.raw[1]
↳ pointee Entry u32 capacity of the buffer lsm.capacity always
↳ pointee Exit u32 size written lsm.returned_size result is 0 or greater, or -E2BIG
flags (arg2) Entry raw scalar word; Syscall Trace also decodes it into flag names (unknown group), listing unknown bits separately args.2, args.flags
  • Result: ret, syscall.errno, syscall.success, syscall.duration_ns.
  • Argument words: args.ids (arg0), args.size (arg1), args.flags (arg2); args.0 to args.5 by position.

See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
