small number of new features. Check in everything you have out.", 2022-06-03)

I am preparing a point release for next week

When exactly is the intended release date?

I'd like to fix an issue caused by #5142 and to finish the RELNOTES beforehand.

Relates to #5174.

[netblue30]

Sure, put all the fixes in - release sometime this week!

• System-wide: You can write to /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_logged but you likely don't want.
• System-wide: Maybe there are some other configuration options?
• Per-profile: You can allow the blocked syscall-calls but cosmetic reasons are bad reasons for weaking the sandbox.
• Revert+Compile
• Good way: none

What do you (all) think about something like

int seccomp_load(struct sock_fprog *prog) {
#ifdef SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG
    if (arg_debug)
        return syscall(SYS_seccomp, SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER, SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG, prog)
#endif
    return prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, prog)
}

@EdiDD on Jun 14:

There are many log entries like: audit: SECCOMP ... and kernel: audit: ... in journal probably because of: * feature: always log seccomp errors (#5110) Is there a way to disable this or make these messages silently
ignored ?
