Not quite. You didn't mention RET_LOG, RET_KILL (and RET_LOG) can be
quieted by the admin, and the audit behavior is different. It is like this:
if action == RET_ALLOW:
do not log
else if action == RET_KILL && RET_KILL in actions_logged:
log
else if action == RET_LOG && RET_LOG in actions_logged:
log
else if filter-requests-logging && action in actions_logged:
log
else if audit_enabled && process-is-being-audited:
log
else:
do not log
Writing that up made me realize that there is a behavior change that my
patch set introduces when the process is being audited. Before my patch
set, this was the behavior:
...
else if action == RET_KILL && audit_enabled && process-is-being-audited:
log
...
Now it is:
...
else if audit_enabled && process-is-being-audited:
log
...
Should I go back to only logging RET_KILL actions in that situation?

Hmmm... you're right. This slipped in since the sysctl's purpose morphed
from configuring what actions should be logged to configuring what
actions are allowed to be logged.

I think that would be fine. Unless you say otherwise, I'll also rename
__audit_seccomp() to audit_seccomp() after doing that.
