[PATCH] x86/vsyscall: allow seccomp filter in vsyscall=emulate

[Will Drewry]

If a seccomp filter program is installed, older static binaries and
distributions with older libc implementations (glibc 2.13 and earlier)
that rely on vsyscall use will be terminated regardless of the filter
program policy when executing time, gettimeofday, or getcpu.  This is
only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the
default).

This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate trap
such that seccomp can properly evaluate the system call.
