When attaching uretprobes to processes running inside docker, the attached process is segfaulted when encountering the retprobe.
The reason is that now that uretprobe is a system call the default seccomp filters in docker block it as they only allow a specific set of known syscalls. This is true for other userspace applications which use seccomp to control their syscall surface.
Since uretprobe is a "kernel implementation detail" system call which is not used by userspace application code directly, it is impractical and there's very little point in forcing all userspace applications to explicitly allow it in order to avoid crashing tracked processes.
Pass this systemcall through seccomp without depending on configuration.
Note: uretprobe isn't supported in i386 and __NR_ia32_rt_tgsigqueueinfo uses the same number as __NR_uretprobe so the syscall isn't forced in the compat bitmap.

The following reproduction script synthetically demonstrates the problem for seccomp filters:
cat > /tmp/x.c << EOF
char *syscalls[] = { "write", "exit_group", "fstat", };
__attribute__((noinline)) int probed(void) { printf("Probed\n"); return 1; }
void apply_seccomp_filter(char **syscalls, int num_syscalls) { scmp_filter_ctx ctx;
ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL); for (int i = 0; i < num_syscalls; i++) { seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, seccomp_syscall_resolve_name(syscalls[i]), 0); } seccomp_load(ctx); seccomp_release(ctx); }
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int num_syscalls = sizeof(syscalls) / sizeof(syscalls[0]);
apply_seccomp_filter(syscalls, num_syscalls);
probed();
return 0; } EOF
cat > /tmp/trace.bt << EOF uretprobe:/tmp/x:probed { printf("ret=%d\n", retval); } EOF
gcc -o /tmp/x /tmp/x.c -lseccomp
