Indeed, Thank you.

I see, I understand.

I did not explain well enough.
The memfd_secret syscall itself is supported in 5.14, but is implemented on i386, x86_64, s390, and s390x with latest kernel.
Other architectures are not supported. The above patch causes the same problem with the latest kernel.
So, I create with the following patch based on your comments. How about this?
