Stupid question, why not
#define PTRACE_EVENT_SYSCALL_ENTRY 8
#define PTRACE_EVENT_SYSCALL_EXIT 9
right after other PTRACE_EVENT_* constants?
The next 3/3 tries to detect PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP case anyway, so I am not sure
I understand what "do not appear in task->ptrace_message by other means" actually
means...
