Possibly Missing Syscalls from Seccomp Filter

Just to be clear the paths include sshpkt_vfatal which could be called in
the child process. Is the reason they are not callable because the
effective user id of the sandboxed process non root?


I've updated the paths below:

1.
do_authentication2->dispatch_run_fatal->sshpkt_fatal->sshpkt_vfatal->logdie->cleanup_exit->do_cleanup->temporarily_use_uid->getgroups

2.
do_authentication2->ssh_dispatch_run_fatal->sshpkt_fatal->logdie->cleanup_exit->do_cleanup->temporarily_use_uid->initgroups->setgroups

3.
do_authentication2->ssh_dispatch_run_fatal->sshpkt_fatal->sshpkt_vfatal->logdie->cleanup_exit->do_cleanup->auth_sock_cleanup_proc->unlink

4.
do_authentication2->ssh_dispatch_run_fatal->sshpkt_fatal->sshpkt_vfatal->logide->cleanup_exit->do_cleanup->auth_sock_cleanup_proc->rmdir
