Hi Kees,

I apologize for not having the time to offer up any serious review or comment 
on the different threads.  I see you posted v11 today, and I'm guessing that 
will be the final version?

In general the new seccomp() syscall looks fine to me, nothing too different 
from how we do things with prctl() now, just a new syscall.  The thread sync 
ability is a nice new idea and something we will want to support with 
libseccomp in the future (toggle an attribute?) but we'll obviously have to
wait until the code is merged into the kernel.

Regardless, thanks for you work on this upstream.

-Paul
