For my own notes, this is how I reproduced it:

# ./perf-$VER record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit &
# ./seccomp_bpf
# fg
ctrl-c
# ./perf-$VER script | grep seccomp_bpf | awk '{print $7}' | sort | uniq -c > $VER.log
*repeat*
# diff -u old.log new.log
...

(Is there an easier way to get those results?)

I will go see if I can figure out the best way to correct this.
