Title:
  Seccomp check skipped for syscall -1 in straced process and
  PTRACE_SYSEMU broken

Status in linux-aws package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If system call number -1 is called and the process is being traced
  with PTRACE_SYSCALL, for example by strace, the seccomp check is
  skipped and -ENOSYS is returned unconditionally (unless altered by the
  tracer), rather than carrying out action specified in the seccomp
  filter.

  The consequence of this is that it is not possible to reliably strace
  a seccomp based implementation of a foreign system call interface in
  which r7/x8 is permitted to be -1 on entry to a system call.

  I have traced this bug to commit
  f086f67485c5c126bcec4b0e96ac7319a2e59ab8 which attempts to implement
  PTRACE_SYSEMU.

  Contrary to x86-64 and the man ptrace page which states "For
  PTRACE_SYSEMU, continue and stop on entry to the next system call,
  which will not be executed.", on PTRACE_SYSEMU skips the current
  system call and stops on entry to the next system call.
