Adds bit perf_event_attr::sigtrap, which can be set to cause events to send SIGTRAP (with si_code TRAP_PERF) to the task where the event occurred. To distinguish perf events and allow user space to decode si_perf (if set), the event type is set in si_errno.
The primary motivation is to support synchronous signals on perf events in the task where an event (such as breakpoints) triggered.
