    No, this isn’t about internals in the kernel mode sense. It’s about the smallish number of cases where the kernel causes user code to do a specific syscall and the user has a policy that doesn’t allow that syscall. This is visible to user code via seccomp and ptrace.

    Yes, it’s obnoxious. Do you have any suggestions?
