That is a request for further 18 commits to backport, bringing the total to 25.
Looking at the remaining 38 commits there are:
- documentation updates
- tools updates
- tests updates
- bugfixes
- updates to syscall tables for linux 4.3, 4.5-rc4+
IMHO, in the future when libseccomp is updated to support 4.10 kernel syscalls, it should be backported back to xenial too, to properly suppor the HWE kernels.
Currently libseccomp version in Ubuntu are:
libseccomp | 2.2.3-3ubuntu3 | xenial | source
libseccomp | 2.3.1-2ubuntu2 | yakkety | source
libseccomp | 2.3.1-2.1ubuntu1 | zesty | source
The difference between 2.2.3 and 2.3.1 is 63 upstream commits.
Of those commits, 7 are already cherrypicked into xenial for s390x support.
However that s390x support is incomplete as multiplexed syscalls are not supported.
A request has been filed to support multiplexed syscalls in libseccomp in xenial at https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ libseccomp/ +bug/1679691
