Oh, you mean the forked process sets up the logging it wants for the filters it just installed, then after exec a process sets up new logging requirements? > I think this needs to be configured at the filter level. I'm not sure that's even the right way to compose the logging desires. So, my initial thought was "whatever ran SECCOMP_SET_LOGGING knows what it's doing" and it should be the actual value. If the launcher wants logs of everything the application does with its filters, then a purely-tied-to-filter approach won't work either. Perhaps log bits can only be enabled? I.e. SECCOMP_SET_LOGGING performs an OR instead of an assignment? -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
