Hi,

Thanks for the patch!

Not sure if we care, but with a more strict warning/error checking in
gcc I get now.

seccomp/bpf-helper.c:66:3: error: implicit declaration of function
‘exit’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   exit(1);
   ^
seccomp/bpf-helper.c:66:3: error: incompatible implicit declaration of
built-in function ‘exit’ [-Werror]
