Limiting SECCOMP audit events

Hello,

Over the last month, the amount of seccomp events in audit logs is sky-rocketing. I 
have over a million events in the last 2 days. Most of this is generated by firefox and 
qt webkit.

I am wondering if the audit package should ship a file for

/usr/lib/sysctl.d/60-auditd.conf

wherein it has

kernel.seccomp.actions_logged = kill_process kill_thread errno

Also, has anyone verified this sysctl is filtering audit events? Even with the above, I 
have over a million events on a 4.14.3 kernel. Firefox alone is generating over 
50,000 events per hour.

Thanks,
-Steve
