Tycho, I forgot everything about seccomp, most probably I am wrong but let me
ask anyway.

__seccomp_filter(SECCOMP_RET_TRACE) does

		/*
		 * Recheck the syscall, since it may have changed. This
		 * intentionally uses a NULL struct seccomp_data to force
		 * a reload of all registers. This does not goto skip since
		 * a skip would have already been reported.
		 */
		if (__seccomp_filter(this_syscall, NULL, true))
			return -1;

and the next seccomp_run_filters() can return SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF, right?
seccomp_do_user_notification() doesn't check recheck_after_trace and it simply
does n.data = sd.

Doesn't this mean that "unotif.data = *(knotif->data)" can hit NULL ?

seccomp_run_filters() does populate_seccomp_data() in this case, but this
won't affect "seccomp_data *sd" passed to seccomp_do_user_notification().
