OK, I found the origin of this misunderstanding. On x86_32, PTRACE_SETREGS set regs->syscall when updating orig_eax, which is not the case on x86_64, hence the difference of behavior. I fixed this bug in the v2 series. The ptsc test and all the seccomp tests pass for 32 and 64 bits!

Where can we find the UML selftests?

Thanks,
