Hi Andi,

What kernel version are you using?  I believe we fixed that in Linux
4.5 with the following:

  commit 96368701e1c89057bbf39222e965161c68a85b4b
  From: Paul Moore <pmoore@...hat.com>
  Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:18:55 -0400 (09:18 -0500)

  audit: force seccomp event logging to honor the audit_enabled flag

  Previously we were emitting seccomp audit records regardless of the
  audit_enabled setting, a deparature from the rest of audit.  This
  patch makes seccomp auditing consistent with the rest of the audit
  record generation code in that when audit_enabled=0 nothing is logged
  by the audit subsystem.

  The bulk of this patch is moving the CONFIG_AUDIT block ahead of the
  CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL block in include/linux/audit.h; the only real
  code change was in the audit_seccomp() definition.
