Hello,
This patch against 12-rc1 adds seccomp to the ppc64 arch. I tested it
successfully with the seccomp_test. I didn't bother to change the
syscall exit not to check for TIF_SECCOMP, in theory that bit could be
optimized but it's an optimization in the slow path, and current code is
a bit simpl

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I could do to help debug

Perhaps someone who has this working with this kernel version might

Pat:
Your recent series of driver model patches naturally divides up into
two parts: those involved with implementing and using klists, and
those involved with adding a semaphore to struct device. Let's
consider these parts separately.
The klist stuff embodies a good idea: safe traversal of list
