[PATCH RFC 4/4] perf/core: Add breakpoint information to siginfo on SIGTRAP
From: Marco Elver
Date: Tue Feb 23 2021 - 09:37:41 EST
Encode information from breakpoint attributes into siginfo_t, which
helps disambiguate which breakpoint fired.
Note, providing the event fd may be unreliable, since the event may have
been modified (via PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES) between the event
triggering and the signal being delivered to user space.
