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?
