From: Markus Metzger Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:32:04 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86, ptrace: overflow signal API X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1143^2~481 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c6334593c61c71ab2e666c015eef13995736f49a;p=pandora-kernel.git x86, ptrace: overflow signal API Establish the user API for sending a user-defined signal to the traced task on a BTS buffer overflow. This should complete the user API for the BTS ptrace extension. The patches so far implement wrap-around overflow handling as is needed for debugging. The remaining open is another overflow handling mechanism that sends a signal to the traced task on a buffer overflow. This will take some more time from my side. Since, from a user perspective, this occurs behind the scenes, the patch set should already be useful. More features may/will be added on top of it (overflow signal, pageable back-up buffers, kernel tracing, core file support, profiling, ...).
