I finished the move from the high-water mark log_max_action sysctl to the bitmask based actions_logged sysctl. Unfortunately, I've just realized that SECCOMP_SET_LOGGING, or any process-wide logging configuration mechanism, will not work. It is fine for the situation where two unrelated processes set up seccomp filters that should be logged differently. However, it fails when two closely related processes, such as parent and child, need to set up seccomp filters that should be logged differently. Imagine a launcher that sets up an application sandbox (including a seccomp filter) and then launches an electron app which will have its own seccomp filter for sandboxing untrusted code that it runs. Unless the launcher and app completely agree on actions that should be logged, the logging won't work as intended for both processes. I think this needs to be configured at the filter level.
