[SRU][XENIAL][PATCH 4/7] seccomp: Sysctl to configure actions that are allowed to be logged

Adminstrators can write to this sysctl to set the seccomp actions that
are allowed to be logged. Any actions not found in this sysctl will not
be logged.

For example, all SECCOMP_RET_KILL, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP, and
SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO actions would be loggable if "kill trap errno" were
written to the sysctl. SECCOMP_RET_TRACE actions would not be logged
since its string representation ("trace") wasn't present in the sysctl
value.

The path to the sysctl is:

 /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_logged

The actions_avail sysctl can be read to discover the valid action names
that can be written to the actions_logged sysctl with the exception of
"allow". SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW actions cannot be configured for logging.

The default setting for the sysctl is to allow all actions to be logged
except SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW. While only SECCOMP_RET_KILL actions are
currently logged, an upcoming patch will allow applications to request
additional actions to be logged.

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 actions_logged. This exception
preserves the existing auditing behavior of tasks with an allocated
audit context.

With this patch, the logic for deciding if an action will be logged is:

if action == RET_ALLOW:
  do not log
else if action == RET_KILL && RET_KILL in actions_logged:
  log
else if audit_enabled && task-is-being-audited:
  log
else:
  do not log

+``actions_logged``:
+	A read-write ordered list of seccomp return values (refer to the
+	``SECCOMP_RET_*`` macros above) that are allowed to be logged. Writes
+	to the file do not need to be in ordered form but reads from the file
+	will be ordered in the same way as the actions_avail sysctl.
+
+	It is important to note that the value of ``actions_logged`` does not
+	prevent certain actions from being logged when the audit subsystem is
+	configured to audit a task. If the action is not found in
+	``actions_logged`` list, the final decision on whether to audit the
+	action for that task is ultimately left up to the audit subsystem to
+	decide for all seccomp return values other than ``SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW``.
+
+	The ``allow`` string is not accepted in the ``actions_logged`` sysctl
+	as it is not possible to log ``SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW`` actions. Attempting
+	to write ``allow`` to the sysctl will result in an EINVAL being
+	returned.
