Can you add proper defines, like:

#define PTRACE_SYSCALL_ENTRY 0
#define PTRACE_SYSCALL_EXIT 1
#define PTRACE_SYSCALL_SECCOMP 2

and make seccomp work from the start?  I'd rather we don't merge an
implementation that doesn't work for seccomp and then have to rework
it later.

__u64 please.  Syscall numbers are, as a practical matter, 64 bits.
Admittedly, the actual effects of setting the high bits are unclear,
and seccomp has issues with it, but let's not perpetuate the problem.

Should seccomp events use entry_info or should they just literally
supply seccomp_data?
