Awkward formulation here. I'd start with "If a tracer sets the
PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP option, then ..."

This means that strace and gdb won't see seccomp filtered syscalls.
I think you have to reverse the logic and have an option that asks
to hide normal SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO, but not SECCOMP_RET_TRACE ones.

That gives the expected behaviour in all cases: Programs not setting
it behave as they do now, and co-operating tracers can ignore syscall
events they're not interested in.

Please, no. That's making it more complicated than necessary.

I propose to keep the ptrace rules exactly the same as they are, with
the only change being that if PTRACE_O_SECCOMP is set, no syscall events
will be generated for SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO. This way ptrace behaviour is
the same, but only less syscall events are received. With your way
ptracers see syscall events when they normally wouldn't.

So I guess it's more like 'check_trace' or something.

This isn't possible, because seccomp_tracer_done() is only called when
PT_TRACE_SECCOMP is set, which gets cleared when the tracer goes away.

This bit shouldn't be necessary, as it should be in ptrace core. Oleg's
fix should be upstream before your seccomp patches. Except if I missed
something and this is not to fix current buggy behaviour that the task
is only killed after the current syscall?

But you got the logic reversed, the task should be killed except if
seccomp_tracer_done() was called. You can't kill the task from within
seccomp_tracer_done(), that is unreliable.
