+// getxattrat is syscall number 464 on amd64 (added in Linux 6.13). Go's
+// syscall package does not yet export SYS_GETXATTRAT, so we invoke it by its
+// raw number. Its signature is:
+//
+//	getxattrat(int dfd, const char *pathname, unsigned int at_flags,
+//	           const char *name, struct xattr_args *uargs, size_t usize)
+//
+// The filesystem PATH is at args[1] (after the dirfd), while args[3] ("name")
+// is the xattr NAME (e.g. "user.ior") and must NOT be captured as a path. The
+// syscall returns the size in bytes of the xattr value (a read byte-count),
+// or -1 on error.
+const sysGetxattrat = 464
+
+// xattrArgs mirrors struct xattr_args from <linux/xattr.h> (Linux 6.13+):
+// a userspace value buffer pointer plus its size and flags.
+type xattrArgs struct {
+	value uint64 // __aligned_u64: pointer to the value buffer
+	size  uint32 // size of the value buffer
+	flags uint32 // operation flags (0 for getxattrat)
+}
+
+// xattrGetxattrat creates a file on tmpfs (/tmp), sets a user xattr on it, then
+// reads that xattr back via the raw getxattrat(2) syscall with AT_FDCWD. This
+// exercises ior's getxattrat tracing end-to-end and confirms:
+//   - the real filesystem path (args[1]) is captured, NOT the dirfd or the
+//     xattr name string at args[3];
+//   - the syscall exit is READ-classified so the returned value size is
+//     accounted as read bytes, consistent with getxattr/lgetxattr/fgetxattr.
