Subject: [PATCH] fix: arm64: syscall: use live x0 for syscall_get_arguments() arg0

From: Yiqi Sun <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 14:54:44 +0800

On arm64, seccomp obtains syscall arguments via syscall_get_arguments(),
where arg0 is currently read from regs->orig_x0. However, the syscall
wrapper consumes live arguments from regs->regs[0..5].

A ptracer can modify x0 on syscall-enter stop before seccomp runs,
but cannot update orig_x0 through that interface. This can
leave seccomp checking stale arg0 while the syscall executes with updated
live x0, allowing seccomp bypass when filters depend on arg0.

Make syscall_get_arguments() read arg0 from regs->regs[0], matching the
actual dispatch arguments and removing this desynchronization.
