Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Several syscalls were discovered to be missing when using the launcher on snappy. These should be added so we may properly support seccomp filtering.

  [Test Case]
  seccomp itself has a comprehensive testsuite, and while it doesn't fail the build, regressions can be seen by looking at the build log. Eg:

  Regression Test Summary
  tests run: 6494
  tests skipped: 52
  tests passed: 6494
  tests failed: 0
  tests errored: 0

  
  Furthermore, on a snappy system, perform:
  $ sudo snappy install hello-world
  $ hello-world.env

  It should show the environment. On an arm system with 2.1.1-1 from the archive, this will fail due to a seccomp denial:
  audit: type=1326 audit(1430766107.122:16): auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=15 pid=1491 comm="env" exe="/bin/bash" sig=31 arch=40000028 syscall=983045 compat=0 ip=0xb6fb0bd6 code=0x0

  (note, snappy images have a ppa fix for this, see notes below).

  
  To test the segfault fix, do:
  $ scmp_sys_resolver 1024
  Segmentation fault

  It should return:
  $ scmp_sys_resolver 1024
  UNKNOWN

  
  For the new 3.19 syscalls:
  $ scmp_sys_resolver getrandom
  -1

  it should return something like (actual number depends on arch, this is on armhf):
  $ scmp_sys_resolver getrandom
  384


  autopkgtests for libseccomp have been added as part of this update to verify that the library recognizes all the syscalls from 3.19 and the private syscalls. These tests can be run like so (assuming you are in the unpacked source and the binaries are in ../binary):
  $ export REL=vivid
  $ adt-run `for i in ../binary/*.deb ; do echo -n "-B $i " ; done` --source ../source/*.dsc --log-file /tmp/adt.out --- adt-virt-schroot autopkgtest-$REL-amd64 || echo "** AUTOPKGTESTS FAILED"

  Alternatively, if you don't have autopkgtest setup, you can do:
  $ apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essential linux-libc-dev libseccomp-dev seccomp
  $ export ADTTMP=/tmp/foo ; mkdir -p "$ADTTMP" ; sh ./debian/tests/test-filter
  ...
  PASS
  $ export ADTTMP=/tmp/foo ; mkdir -p "$ADTTMP" ; sh ./debian/tests/test-scmp_sys_resolver
  ...
  PASS

  
  Lastly, seccomp is used by lxc. lxc can be tested by using the test case as outlined in step 4 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/AppArmor#Desktop_only.

  
  [Regression Potential]
  If the above tests, regression potential is considered low. Unknown syscalls will continue to be handled as before.

  https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/commit/7b80fb2fb683cafaf5dc9ff7692437ba86e598a3

  This should also be applied (fix a segfault for invalid syscall numbers):
  https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/commit/2d09a74c7f04d29ae740db1e2187ff1a1886b2c3

  In addition, add-missing-arm-private-syscalls.patch is add to add 5
  private ARM syscalls. These are absolutely required on snappy. This
  portion of the patch has been well tested and is included by default
  in stable snappy images via the snappy image PPA.
