A Landlock program will be triggered according to its subtype/origin
bitfield. The LANDLOCK_FLAG_ORIGIN_SECCOMP value will trigger the
Landlock program when a seccomp filter will return RET_LANDLOCK.
Moreover, it is possible to return a 16-bit cookie which will be
readable by the Landlock programs in its context.
Are you envisioning that the filters will return RET_LANDLOCK most of
the time or rarely?  If it's most of the time, then maybe this could
be simplified a bit by unconditionally calling the landlock filter and
letting the landlock filter access a struct seccomp_data if needed.
Exposing seccomp_data in a Landlock context may be a good idea. The main
implication is that Landlock programs may then be architecture specific
(if dealing with data) as seccomp filters are. Another point is that it
remove any direct binding between seccomp filters and Landlock programs.
I will try this (more simple) approach.

Only seccomp filters loaded from the same thread and before a Landlock
program can trigger it through LANDLOCK_FLAG_ORIGIN_SECCOMP. Multiple
Landlock programs can be triggered by one or more seccomp filters. This
way, each RET_LANDLOCK (with specific cookie) will trigger all the
allowed Landlock programs once.
This interface seems somewhat awkward.  Should we not have a way to
atomicaly install a whole pile of landlock filters and associated
seccomp filter all at once?
I can change the seccomp(2) use in this way: instead of loading a
Landlock program, (atomically) load an array of Landlock programs.

However, exposing seccomp_data to Landlock programs looks like a better
way to deal with it. This does not needs to manage an array of Landlock
programs.
