[PATCH v4 2/4] seccomp: Add sysctl to configure actions that should be logged

[Tyler Hicks]

Administrators can write to this sysctl to set the maximum seccomp
action that should be logged. Any actions with values greater than
what's written to the sysctl will not be logged.

For example, all SECCOMP_RET_KILL, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP, and
SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO actions would be logged if "errno" were written to the
sysctl. SECCOMP_RET_TRACE and SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW actions would not be
logged since their values are higher than SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO.

The path to the sysctl is:

 /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/log_max_action

The actions_avail sysctl can be read to discover the valid action names
that can be written to the log_max_action sysctl. The actions_avail
sysctl is also useful in understanding the ordering of actions used when
deciding the maximum action to log.

The default setting for the sysctl is to only log SECCOMP_RET_KILL
actions which matches the existing behavior.

There's one important exception to this sysctl. If a task is
specifically being audited, meaning that an audit context has been
allocated for the task, seccomp will log all actions other than
SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW despite the value of log_max_action. This exception
preserves the existing auditing behavior of tasks with an allocated
audit context.
