It might be worth adding 'syscall' here; the pointers listed are user
pointers, and negative syscall args will show up like kernel pointers,
e.g. I get this output, which is spurious:

/proc/31808/syscall: 0 0x3 0x55b107a38180 0x2000 0xffffffffffffffb0 0x55b107a302d0 0x55b107a38180 0x7fffa313b8e8 0x7ff098560d11

Cheers,

Tycho
