    [$] vDSO, 32-bit time, and seccomp
    The seccomp()
    mechanism is notoriously difficult to use. It also turns out to be easy to
    break unintentionally, as the development community discovered when a
    timekeeping change meant to address the year-2038 problem created a regression for
    seccomp() users in the 5.3 kernel. Work is underway to mitigate
    the problem for now, but seccomp() users on 32-bit systems are
    likely to have to change their configurations at some point.
