Hi Srujan,
what about adding a signal handler to qemu-dm in the tools/ioemu-dir of the user-space tools? Using the signal() API? Nevertheless why would you like to catch SIGKILL? This one (as can be seen using included program source and killing it using kill -9 pid or kill -SIGKILL pid) is not being caught at all nevertheless most of the other signals can be caught.

This is the source of the example mentioned:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void sig_handler(int sig) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Signal %d caught.\n", sig);
    exit(sig);
}

int main()
{
    signal(SIGINT, sig_handler);
    signal(SIGKILL, sig_handler);

    sleep(10000);
    return 0;
}

When I did try SIGINT (Ctrl + C or kill -2 pid) it caught the signal well but when I did try kill -9 pid (or kill -SIGKILL pid respectively) it was not working at all since it killed the process instead of going to the signal handler. When you need to catch signals like interruption signal (Ctrl + C one) this will work fine.

Hi,

I am trying to capture SIGKILL through event channel.

On my Dom0, the following process is running (remaining code in attachment).


    int main(void){

        int ret, dom, remote_dom;

        //initialize domains
        dom=0;
        remote_dom=2;

        //create the event channel
        ret = create_channel(dom, remote_dom);


        if (0 == ret) {
            printf("\n Event Channel established successfully \n");
        } else {
            return -1;    //EVENT_CHANNEL_CREATION_FAILED
        }

        //wait 20 seconds for an event to occur in DomU
        wait_for_event(20);

        //close the opened interfaces
        close_channel();

        return 0;

    }


While this process is running; I killed a process in DomU using `*kill SIGKILL pid*`

How can I capture this event (occured in DomU) at the Dom0. I watched /dev/xen/evtchn, but no notification.
