What about the situation where multiple auditable objects are involved
in the syscall, whether via multi-component pathnames, multiple pathname
arguments to the syscall (e.g. rename, link), etc?  Easier to just
immediately generate the object information from your hook, and then tie
all such object-based audit records to the associated syscall exit
record via the (timestamp, serial) tuples.
