It's worse than "just restore fstat" considering the performance.  Read
this thread:

Frankly I'm never a fan of syscall blocklisting.  When I develop the
Online Judge system for the programming contest training in Xidian
University I deliberately avoid using seccomp.  This thing is very
likely to break innocent programs with some system change innocent as
well (for example Glibc or libstdc++ update).
