Userspace needs to be able to reliably detect the support of a filter flag. A good way of doing that is by attempting to enter filter mode, with the flag bit(s) in question set, and a NULL pointer for the args parameter of seccomp(2). EFAULT indicates that the flag is valid and EINVAL indicates that the flag is invalid. This patch adds a selftest that can be used to test this method of detection in userspace.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
