Description
Expected Behavior
Run docker-slim against an aarch64 docker image, it runs.
Actual Behavior
Fails to run... log message:
cmd=build info=event.error status='received' data='SensorError{Op:sensor.fanotify.Run/fanapi.Initialize,Kind:call.error,Wrapped:{Type=syscall.Errno,Info=function not implemented,Line:43,File:github.com/docker-slim/docker-slim/pkg/app/sensor/monitors/fanotify/monitor.go}}'
The issue I think is that there is no arm build of docker-slim-sensor?
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- install using brew (or zip)
- run docker-slim on an aarch64 image
Specifications
- Version: latest
- Platform: macos aarch64
Fix (build it yourself)
- git clone git clone git@github.com:docker-slim/docker-slim.git
- cd docker-slim
- GOOS=linux go build -o /usr/local/bin/docker-slim-sensor cmd/docker-slim-sensor/main.go

Research direction
Start with cmd/docker-slim-sensor/main.go and pkg/app/sensor/monitors/fanotify/monitor.go, then reproduce the failure on macOS aarch64 with an aarch64 image. Compare this with building the sensor using GOOS=linux go build and determine the required architecture-specific build or behavior. Done means docker-slim runs successfully against the reported image without the fanotify initialization error.
