True enough. In theory, we could use the lower 16-bits of the return
value to let the bpf program set a signal, but not all signals are
masked synchronous and those that are probably get gdb's attention,
just not a severely :) (ILL, SEGV, BUS, TRAP, FPE). Perhaps SIGILL is
a logically appropriate option -- or letting the api user decide from
the SYNCHRONOUS_MASK set. I'm open to whatever makes sense, though.
(I wasn't even sure if it was kosher to add a new TRAP_SECCOMP value.)
cheers!
