One thing I see is Sashiko's comments on seccomp:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260320102620.1336796-1-ruanjinjie%40huawei.com
where "ret", when not 0 or -1, will override the syscall number. While
that's not currently possible, it'd be better to catch that, or rather,
avoid the "ret ? : syscall" logic which isn't useful here. "ret" should
probably be local to the "if (flags & _TIF_SECCOMP)" scope.
