Actually, never mind on that, I was being stupid. If it was a different
thread it wouldn't be impacted by the seccomp filter at all ...

Hmm, so either the kernel is screwing up with the seccomp filter for this
particular syscall (unlikely) or libseccomp is screwing up the filter creation
(more likely). I don't have an ARM system handy at the moment, but could you
use the seccomp_export_pfc() and seccomp_export_bpf() functions to dump the
PFC/BPF filter code to a file and send it out?

That should be a recent enough kernel, but perhaps your version of libseccomp
was built against an older version of the kernel that didn't have the
necessary support (and it was disabled at compile time)?
