Hopefully description of the v2 makes better job in this:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1793272/focus=4813
where it's already called "UEVENT" and was generated by write().
Before you get into this, though, the most important outcomes of both v1
and v2 discussions:
* Ingo suggested prctl(PR_TRACE_UEVENT, type, size, data, 0) as the way
of generating such events (so the tracee doesn't have to know the fd to
do ioctl); Frederic seems to have the same on his mind.
* Namhyung proposed sticking the userspace-originating events into the
buffer as PERF_RECORD_UEVENT rather then PERF_SAMPLE_UEVENT.
Working on making both happen now.
