    seccomp: add "seccomp" syscall · 48dc92b9

    This adds the new "seccomp" syscall with both an "operation" and "flags"
    parameter for future expansion. The third argument is a pointer value,
    used with the SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER operation. Currently, flags must
    be 0. This is functionally equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...).
    
    In addition to the TSYNC flag later in this patch series, there is a
    non-zero chance that this syscall could be used for configuring a fixed
    argument area for seccomp-tracer-aware processes to pass syscall arguments
    in the future. Hence, the use of "seccomp" not simply "seccomp_add_filter"
    for this syscall. Additionally, this syscall uses operation, flags,
    and user pointer for arguments because strictly passing arguments via
    a user pointer would mean seccomp itself would be unable to trivially
    filter the seccomp syscall itself.
