If system call number -1 is called and the process is being traced with PTRACE_SYSCALL, for example by strace, the seccomp check is skipped and -ENOSYS is returned unconditionally (unless altered by the tracer), rather than carrying out action specified in the seccomp filter.
The consequence of this is that it is not possible to reliably strace a seccomp based implementation of a foreign system call interface in which r7/x8 is permitted to be -1 on entry to a system call.
I have traced this bug to commit f086f67485c5c126bcec4b0e96ac7319a2e59ab8 which attempts to implement PTRACE_SYSEMU.
Contrary to x86-64 and the man ptrace page which states "For PTRACE_SYSEMU, continue and stop on entry to the next system call, which will not be executed.", on PTRACE_SYSEMU skips the current system call and stops on entry to the next system call.
