[PATCH] seccomp: not compatible with ARM OABI

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Nov 06 2013 - 18:32:32 EST


Make sure that seccomp filter won't be built when ARM OABI is in use,
since there is work needed to distinguish calling conventions. Until
that is done (which is likely never since OABI is deprecated), make
sure seccomp filter is unavailable in the OABI compat world.

Enable tasks to build secure computing environments defined
in terms of Berkeley Packet Filter programs which implement
task-defined system call filtering polices.

+ Not available on ARM when built with OABI compatibility due to
