My understanding of this magic is very limited, and I'm afraid I misunderstood... So please correct me. But what is the problem? system_call checks _TIF_WORK_SYSCALL_ENTRY which includes _TIF_SECCOMP | _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE, and jumps to tracesys which does SAVE_REST. Anyway. secure_computing() is called by syscall_trace_enter() which also calls tracehook_report_syscall_entry(). If SECCOMP_RET_TRACE can't do ptrace_event() then why tracehook_report_syscall_entry() is fine?
