Does your tool already work? I have a requirement for exactly such a tool. Any possibility of getting it?

Hi Regarding this issue I'm woundering if anyone could give me a hint of when Linux is using "signal trampolines"? When reading in gdb/i386-linux-tdep.c large portion of it handles them but I can't get the kernel to generate them. Using a simple signal handler in my userspace test-app seems not enough. regards /Ronny
