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?
