Thanks for the update, Tyler. I know this has been a long road, but the
cumulative effect of everyone's hard work on this particular front will
be huge. I'm very much looking forward to this.

Title:
  implement 'complain mode' in seccomp for developer mode with snaps

Status in Snappy:
  In Progress
Status in libseccomp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  A requirement for snappy is that a snap may be placed in developer
  mode which will put the security sandbox in complain mode such that
  violations against policy are logged, but permitted. In this manner
  learning tools can be written to parse the logs, etc and make
  developing on snappy easier.

  Unfortunately with seccomp only SCMP_ACT_KILL logs to dmesg and while
  we can set complain mode to permit all calls, they are not logged at
  this time. I've discussed this with upstream and we are working
  together on the approach. This may require a kernel patch and an
  update to libseccomp, to filing this bug for now as a placeholder and
  we'll add other tasks as necessary.

  UPDATE: ubuntu-core-launcher now supports the '@complain' directive
  that is a synonym for '@unrestricted' so people can at least turn on
  developer mode and not be blocked by seccomp. Proper complain mode for
  seccomp needs to still be implemented (this bug).
