While touching seccomp code I realized that the struct seccomp_data
argument to secure_computing() seems to be unused by all current
callers. So let's remove it unless there is some subtlety I missed.
Note, I only tested this on x86.

IIRC there was a period of time in which x86 used secure_computing()
for normal syscalls, and it was a good deal faster to have the arch
code supply seccomp_data.  x86 no longer works like this, and syscalls
aren't fast anymore ayway :(

Yeah, this is just left-over from the "two phase" seccomp optimization
that was removed a while back. I'll take this clean up into the seccomp
tree. Thanks!

I started looking at this and actually had a slightly bigger cleanup in
mind. It seems odd that we have secure_computing() and
__secure_computing(). Especially in the mips and x86 case. From what I
can tell they could both rely on secure_computing() and don't need
__secure_computing().
If I can make those changes, we can make __secure_computing() static and
have only a single function secure_computing() that is used by all
arches which would make this code simpler.
Apparenly mips once switched from secure_computing() to
__secure_computing() because of bpf and tracepoints. The last change to
this was:

commit 3d729deaf287c43e415c5d791c9ac8414dbeff70
Author: James Hogan <jhogan@kernel.org>
Date:   Fri Aug 11 21:56:50 2017 +0100

    MIPS: seccomp: Fix indirect syscall args

which references a broken samples/bpf/tracex5 test. But in the thread to
this last change Kees and others were less than sure that this makes
sense. So I'm not sure. Maybe I should just try and send it out...

Afaict, the struct seccomp_data argument to secure_computing() is unused
by all current callers. So let's remove it.
The argument was added in [1]. It was added because having the arch
supply the syscall arguments used to be faster than having it done by
secure_computing() (cf. Andy's comment in [2]). This is not true anymore
though.

Yes; thanks for cleaning this up!

If this were whitespace cleanup in kernel/seccomp.c, I'd take it without
flinching. As this is only tangentially related and in an arch
directory, I've dropped this hunk out of a cowardly fear of causing
(a likely very unlikely) merge conflict.

I'd rather we globally clean up trailing whitespace at the end of -rc1
and ask Linus to run some crazy script. :)

So, with that hunk removed, I've applied this to for-next/seccomp. :)

Thanks!

Oh that was on accident probably. It usally happens because I have vim
do whitespace fixups automatically and then they end up slipping in...
Sorry. Thanks for removing it! :)
