I've had previous feedback about using "packed". See:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87o8w9bcaf.fsf@mid.deneb.enyo.de/

(How) can seccomp_data grow safely, even with this extensibility mechanism?

Will we ever grow seccomp_data?

I suggest we throw away the _SIZES api, and just introduce RECV2, which sends
back a known, fixed format, and deprecate these dynamically sized uapi
shenanigans.

(Queue RECV3, etc..)

Maybe we do something like perf_event_open, where there's a read_format,
and that's used by the user to determine how big of a response / fields they
want to get?

To summarize my set of ideas:
1. We take the ptrace-style API, where we have a request to get the tgid of
a given request ID (or any new / extensible field)
2. We add a perf_event_open style API, where you have to tell it what fields
to include in the response
3. We introduce RECV2 [through N]
4. We never extend seccomp_data, and just continue to append things to the API
5. We rev the API _once_ and unroll seccomp_data, and make it so that
new members have to be *asked for*, rather than are implicitly
included.
