I imagine we could put together a rather coarse grained action filter,
similar to what we have with "actions_logged" (maybe
"actions_silent"?), and perhaps add some additional audit filters for
seccomp for those who happen to have audit enabled. Both should be
relatively easy, the "actions_silent" field especially so.
OK. That would be helpful. This is eating up my log space. The biggest offenders
seem to be doing trap kind of events. I suppose if an errno was returned the
program would respond by erroring out. But since its a trap, I suspect something
looks around at data and then OK's it to proceed on which results in another trap.
