Nope, I hadn't, but I have now. I went back to my friend gdb and set a couple
breakpoints

Breakpoint 1, seccomp_start () at qemu-seccomp.c:246
246         int rc = 0;
(gdb) info threads 
  Id   Target Id         Frame

No unwaited-for children left.


So we're calling __clear_cache from the same thread that called
seccomp_start, and that thread dies the moment it calls the syscall.
No other threads except id(2) at this time, which appears to be
something created by __libc_start_main before main() runs.

I tried this, but it error'ed out with rc == -95 (EOPNOTSUPP ?)
My kernel version is 4.0.5-200.fc21.armv7hl+lpae
