However, qemu being multi-threaded, it keeps running. There is no easy way for parent process / management layer (libvirt) to know about that situation. Instead, the default SIGSYS handler when invoked with SCMP_ACT_TRAP will terminate the program and core dump. This may not be the most secure solution, but probably better than just killing the offending thread. SCMP_ACT_KILL_PROCESS has been added in Linux 4.14 to improve the situation, which I propose to use by default if available in the next patch.
