From a95d67f87e1a5f1b4429be3ba3bf7b4051657908 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:31:20 +0100 Subject: x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS API Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling). It further combines buffer allocation and configuration. Opens: - memory rlimit - overflow signal What would be the right signal to use?
