Can you elaborate on what this would look like? I think with the
"these two filters are the same" primitive (the same in the sense that
they were inherited during a fork, not just that
memcmp(filter1->insns, filter2->insns) == 0) you can infer the entire
hierarchy, however clunky it may be to do so.

Another issue is that KCMP_FILE won't work in this case, as it
effectively compares the struct file *, which will be different since
we need to call anon_inode_getfd() for each call of
ptrace(PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER_FD). We could add a KCMP_BPF (or just
a KCMP_FILE_PRIVATE_DATA, since that's effectively what it would be).
Does that make sense? [added Cyrill]
