Just an FYI originally the idea was to follow the pattern of logging
set by core dumps see kernel/auditsc.c::audit_core_dumps(). Which is
gated by audit_enable but not anything else. I believe at that time the
only option was kill, which meant, much like the core dumper, spam was
not a likely result given the initiator is killed.
I'm all for a way to shut up unsolicited audit messages, especially
seccomp with errno or trap. I think it would be best to default 'KILL'
to on and everything else to off. I'm no so sure a sysctl is the right
way though. Enabling more forms of 'seccomp audit' should really be a
part of the audit policy.
(p.s. I think the action should be part of the seccomp message, as
right now all we know is that Andi's message isn't KILL since the
sig=0)
