$ git grep -n BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W
include/linux/filter.h:153:     BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W,
kernel/seccomp.c:136:                   ftest->code = BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W;
net/core/filter.c:389:          case BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W:
net/core/filter.c:812:          [BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W] = BPF_LD|BPF_B|BPF_ABS,

Afaik, there had been attempts to support it, but had flaws in it.
