And based on the systemd-nspawn manual page, there is no way to turn
this off:

“
Note that systemd-nspawn always implements a system call whitelist (as
opposed to a blacklist), and this command line option hence adds or
removes entries from the default whitelist, depending on the "~"
prefix.
”

Strange.
