Thanks.
But then this new ptrace feature as it stands is imho currently broken.
If you can install a seccomp filter with SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF if you
are ns_cpabable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and also get an fd via seccomp() itself
if you are ns_cpabable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) then either the new ptrace() api
extension should be fixed to allow for this too or the seccomp() way of
retrieving the pid - which I really think we want - needs to be fixed to
require capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) too.
The solution where both require ns_capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) is - imho -
the preferred way to solve this.
Everything else will just be confusing.
