Asynchronous termination of a thread outside of the userspace thread library's knowledge is an unsafe operation that leaves the process in an inconsistent, corrupt, and possibly unrecoverable state. In order to make new actions that may be added in the future safe on kernels not aware of them, change the default action from SECCOMP_RET_KILL_THREAD to SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
