Encode information from breakpoint attributes into siginfo_t, which
helps disambiguate which breakpoint fired.

Note, providing the event fd may be unreliable, since the event may have
been modified (via PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES) between the event
triggering and the signal being delivered to user space.

Should we prohibit using attr.sigtrap for !PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT if we
don't know what info to pass yet?

I don't think it's necessary. This way, by default we get support for
other perf events. If user space observes si_perf==0, then there's no
information available. That would require that any event type that
sets si_perf in future, must ensure that it sets si_perf!=0.

I can add a comment to document the requirement here (and user space
facing documentation should get a copy of how the info is encoded,
too).

Alternatively, we could set si_errno to 0 if no info is available, at
the cost of losing the type information for events not explicitly
listed here.

What do you prefer?

Ah, I see.
Let's wait for the opinions of other people. There are a number of
options for how to approach this.

Note that PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE == 0, so setting si_errno to 0 does not
work. Which leaves us with:

1. Ensure si_perf==0 (or some other magic value) if no info is
available and !=0 otherwise.

2. Return error for events where we do not officially support
requesting sigtrap.

I'm currently leaning towards (1).
