[File] The seccomp filter on any ppc architecture may fail

[Dr. Werner Fink]

Hi,

I had a bug report that on physical terminals like /dev/console the
seccomp filter cause a SIGSYS due to not allowd TCGETS ioctl.  This
ioctl is performed by glibc its self by its tcgetattr(3) call.

The problem is that the TCGETS get by the includes

#include <termios.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

are wrong on ppc based architectures and will not be fixed by the glibc
people (see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32806)

A workaround is here for

#ifdef __powerpc64__
# include <asm/termbits.h>
#else
# include <termios.h>
#endif
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

where <asm/termbits.h> if includes before <sys/ioctl.h>

In the attachment is my patch for this

Werner
