Subject: [ltt-dev] UST use case: Tracing QEMU/KVM
Message-ID: <20100524084150.GA2447@stefan-thinkpad.transitives.com>

/*
 * This example demonstrates the UST listener thread receiving signals and
 * returning from poll().
 *
 * $ gcc -o poll_eintr poll_eintr.c -lust -lpthread
 * $ ./poll_eintr
 * main thread id=0x7f9c31a766a0
 * ^CSIGINT handled in thread id=0x7f9c30ed7910
 * libust[2615/2616]: Error: poll: Interrupted system call (in multipoll_poll() at ../libustcomm/multipoll.c:84)
 * libust[2615/2616]: Error: error in multipoll_poll (in listener_main() at tracectl.c:1015)
 *
 * This happens because all other threads have SIGINT blocked, whereas libust
 * does not block signals in the client thread.  Therefore the signal is
 * handled in the client thread, poll() is interrupted, and an error is
 * printed.
 *
 * I think the correct behavior is to block signals in the client thread so it
 * will not interfere with signal handling of the main program.
