Public bug reported:
While running Discord, AppArmor prints a ton of denials every second.
The lines look something like this:
> Jun 17 18:00:14 magni audit[267198]: AVC apparmor="DENIED"
operation="ptrace" profile="snap.discord.discord" pid=267198
comm="Discord" requested_mask="read" denied_mask="read"
peer="unconfined"
I'm thankful that AppArmor is preventing it from using pthread to mess
with my system. However, I wish it didn't spam my logs so much. Would it
be possible to implement a system whereby subsequent identical logs
within the same second are deduplicated? For example, instead of 127
separate denials lines, one second could look like this:
> Jun 17 18:02:29 magni audit[267198]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="ptrace"
> profile="snap.discord.discord" pid=267198 comm="Discord"

Of course, it would've been nice if Discord wasn't persistently trying
to ptrace everything on my system all the time even after being denied,
but AppArmor exists to deal with misbehaving applications, so we kinda
have to expect that the applications it deals with will be misbehaving.
