You didn't explained how things worked.

Are you assuming we network guys know everything ?

Just to make it very clear :

We are very dumb and you must explain us everything.

If process would not change personality, why do we have get_arch() at
all ? Why isn't it optimized outside of the JIT itself, in the generic
seccomp checker, its a single "A = K" instruction after all.

Why this part is even in the x86 BPF JIT ?

To me it looks like _if_ get_arch() is provided in BPF, its for a
reason, and your implementation looks very suspicious, if not buggy.
