Unless I'm mistaken that you can already enforce bit 1 of the second
parameter of the userfaultfd syscall to be set with seccomp-bpf, this
would be more a question to the Android userland team.

The question would be: does it ever happen that a seccomp filter isn't
already applied to unprivileged software running without
SYS_CAP_PTRACE capability?

If answer is "no" the behavior of the new sysctl in patch 2/2 (in
subject) should be enforceable with minor changes to the BPF
assembly. Otherwise it'd require more changes.

Thanks!
