NAME
       syscall_set_arguments - change system call parameter value

SYNOPSIS
       void syscall_set_arguments(struct task_struct * task, struct pt_regs * regs, unsigned int i, unsigned int n, const unsigned long * args);

ARGUMENTS
       task
	   task of interest, must be in system call entry tracing

       regs

	   task_pt_regs of task

       i
	   argument index [0,5]

       n
	   number of arguments; n+i must be [1,6].

       args
	   array of argument values to store

DESCRIPTION
       Changes n arguments to the system call starting with the i'th argument. Argument i gets value args[0], and so on. An arch inline version is
       probably optimal when i and n are constants.

       It's only valid to call this when task is stopped for tracing on entry to a system call, due to TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT.
       It's invalid to call this with i + n > 6; we only support system calls taking up to 6 arguments.
