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! :)
