[PATCH v1 4/6] seccomp: handle multiple listeners case
From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn
Date: Mon Dec 01 2025 - 07:26:44 EST
If we have more than one listener in the tree and lower listener
wants us to continue syscall (SECCOMP_USER_NOTIF_FLAG_CONTINUE)
we must consult with upper listeners first, otherwise it is a
clear seccomp restrictions bypass scenario.
