The patch has just been submitted upstream, still pending review.

[Impact]
seccomp_bpf test fails on powerpc and ends up being disabled on some series, or
causing engineers to waste their time verifying the same failures are the only
ones we see every kernel release.

[Test case]
Run the test and notice there are no more failures.

[Regression potential]
We may break the test on different architectures. That doesn't break users,
though, as the changes are only on tests. It has been tested at least on
ppc64el and amd64.

Maybe we include this link in the patches:

The code makes sense to me and the impact of the change is very
isolated, considering that it affects only the kernel tests. It has been
also tested on ppc64el and amd64, so:

This code makes my head spin but given the description it seems to make sense.
Any particular reason why this wasn't tested on more architectures?

It's 'only' selftests, so:

No easy access to other architectures, and I wanted to get at least powerpc
done with. I will tackle other architectures in the future. s390 should be
next. Then, arm64.

Applied to bionic/linux, disco/linux, eoan/linux and focal/linux with adding
the URL to the upstream thread as suggested by Andrea.

Thanks,

Applied to unstable/master-next, thanks!
