While running seccomp_bpf, kill_after_ptrace() gets stuck if we run it via /usr/bin/timeout (that is the default), until the timeout expires. This is because /usr/bin/timeout is preventing to properly deliver signals to ptrace'd children (SIGSYS in this case). This problem can be easily reproduced by running: $ sudo make TARGETS=seccomp kselftest ... # [ RUN ] TRACE_syscall.skip_a# not ok 1 selftests: seccomp: seccomp_bpf # TIMEOUT The test is hanging at this point until the timeout expires and then it reports the timeout error. Prevent this problem by passing --foreground to /usr/bin/timeout, allowing to properly deliver signals to children processes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
