To get this to build, I needed to add a sys/time.h include:

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf.c b/tools/testing/selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf.c
index b24d0cbe88b4..fc4910d35342 100644
--- a/tools/testing/selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf.c

#include <sys/ptrace.h>

#include <linux/ptrace.h>

But, with that, yes, I can confirm the race and the fix. Thank you!
I can fix that up locally.
