Well, that *really* didn't work at all.

In file included from samples/seccomp/dropper.c:29:
usr/include/linux/ptrace.h:50: warning: "PTRACE_GETREGSET" redefined
50 | #define PTRACE_GETREGSET 0x4204
|

.. and a lot of similar warnings.

Yeah, that sample code is horrible, and mixes kernel headers with
regular user-space headers.

It did that before too, it just does it much more now, and simply
doesn't work. I'm sure this probably only happens on some distros, but
that's what you get when you play those kinds of broken games.

Pulled and immediately unpulled. That sample probably needs to just be removed.
