Well, we should do this if

or at least if

I tend to think that we should also require that current not be using
seccomp.  Otherwise, in principle, there's a seccomp bypass for
privileged-but-seccomped programs.

Andy, I simply can't understand why do we need any security check at all.

OK, yes, in theory we can have a seccomped CAP_SYS_ADMIN process, seccomp
doesn't filter ptrace, you hack that process and force it to attach to
another CAP_SYS_ADMIN/seccomped process, etc, etc... Looks too paranoid
to me.

But damn, I said many times that I won't argue ;)

If it's not hard, it might still be nice to try to fold this into
mode.  This code is rather hot.  If it would be a mess, then don't
worry about it for now.

IMO, this would be a mess ;) At least compared to this simple patch.

Suppose we add SECCOMP_MODE_SUSPENDED. Not only this adds the problems
with detach if the tracer dies.

We need to change copy_seccomp(). And it is not clear what should we
do if the child is traced too.

We need to change prctl_set_seccomp() paths.

And even the "tracee->seccomp.mode = SECCOMP_MODE_SUSPENDED" code needs
some locking even if the tracee is stopped, we need to avoid the races
with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC from other threads.
