The only thing that comes to mind quickly is that the cacheflush() call is
being done by a thread that was created before the seccomp filter was loaded
into the kernel; although I believe you said you already checked that.
If you are using a recent kernel and libseccomp you can try enabling the
SCMP_FLTATR_CTL_TSYNC attribute to apply the filter to all running threads in
the process.
rc = seccomp_attr_set(ctx, SCMP_FLTATR_CTL_TSYNC, 1);
if (rc)
/* error */
... although that may have unintended consequences since threads which were
never filtered are not getting caught up in the seccomp filter. Although, the
current QEMU seccomp filter is so permissive it might not be a real concern.
Anyway, (double) check the thread creation and seccomp_load() ordering.
