This family of probe points is used to probe signal activities. It contains the following probe points:
Fires when a signal is sent to a process
Arguments:
sig
signal number
sig_name
a string representation of the signal
sig_pid
pid of the signal recipient process
pid_name
name of the signal recipient process
si_code
indicates the signal type
task
a task handle to the signal recipient
sinfo
the address of siginfo struct
shared
indicates whether this signal is shared by the thread group
send2queue
indicates whether this signal is sent to an existing sigqueue
name
name of the function used to send out this signal
Fires when return from sending a signal
Arguments:
retstr
the return value
Return values for "__group_send_sig_info" and "specific_send_sig_info"
<1> the signal is ignored by receiving process
<2> this is a non-RT signal and we already have one queued
<3> the signal is successfully added into the sigqueue of receiving process
- return -EAGAIN if the sigqueue is overflow the signal was RT and sent by user using something other than kill()
Return values for "send_group_sigqueue"
- return 1 if this signal is ignored by receiving process
Return values for "send_sigqueue"
- return 1 if this signal is ignored by receiving process
- return -1 if the task is marked exiting, so posix_timer_event can redirect it to the group leader
shared
indicates whether this signal is shared by the thread group
send2queue
indicates whether this signal is sent to an existing sigqueue
name
name of the function used to send out this signal
Fires when check permissions for sending the signal
Arguments:
sig
the number of the signal
sig_name
a string representation of the signal
sig_pid
pid of the signal recipient process
pid_name
name of the signal recipient process
si_code
indicates the signal type
task
a task handle to the signal recipient
sinfo
the address of siginfo struct
name
name of the probe point, is set to "signal.checkperm"
Fires when return from permissions check for sending a signal
Arguments:
retstr
the return value
name
name of the probe point, is set to "signal.checkperm"
Fires when wake up the process for new active signals
Arguments:
sig_pid
pid of the process to be woke up
pid_name
name of the process to be woke up
resume
indicate whether to wake up a task in STOPPED or TRACED state
state_mask
a string representation indicate the mask of task states
that can be woken. Possible values are
(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE|TASK_STOPPED|TASK_TRACED) and
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
Fires when check whether the signal is ignored or not
Arguments:
sig_pid
pid of the signal recipient process
pid_name
name of the signal recipient process
sig
the signal to be checked
sig_name
name of the signal
Fires when return from signal.check_ignored
Arguments:
retstr
return value. 0 indicate the current signal isn't ignored.
Forces SIGSEGV when there are some issues while handling signals for the process
Arguments:
sig_pid
pid of the signal recipient process
pid_name
name of the signal recipient process
sig
the signal being handled
sig_name
name of this signal
Fires when return from signal.force_segv
Arguments:
retstr
return value. Always return 0
Fires when sys_kill is called to send a signal to a process.
Arguments:
pid

sig
the signal to be sent
Fires when returning from sys_kill
Fires when sys_tgkill is called to send a signal to one specific thread
Arguments:
pid
