Alternatively, maybe this syscall implementation should be reverted?

Honestly, that seems the best choice. I don't think any thought was
given to how it would interact with syscall interposers (including
ptrace, strict mode seccomp, etc).

I don't know if you noticed Andrii's and others' comments on this [1].

Given that:
- this issue requires immediate remediation
- there seems to be pushback for reverting the syscall implementation
- filtering uretprobe is not within the capabilities of seccomp without this
  syscall (so reverting the syscall is equivalent to just passing it through
  seccomp)

is it possible to consider applying this current fix, with the possibility of
extending seccomp in the future to support filtering uretprobe if deemed
necessary (for example by allowing userspace to define a stricter policy)?

Thanks,
Eyal.
