I've tested on ARM now, seccomp doesn't see any change in behavior.
Please consider both patches:

Tested-by: Kees Cook <keescook at chromium.org>

One interesting thing I noticed (which is unchanged by this series),
but pulling ARM_r7 during the seccomp ptrace event shows __NR_poll,
not __NR_restart_syscall, even though it was a __NR_restart_syscall
trap from seccomp. Is there a better place to see the actual syscall?
