Due to various bugs in tests clean up code (usually), if host system is misconfigured, it happens that test_progs will just crash in the middle of running a test with little to no indication of where and why the crash happened. For cases where coredump is not readily available (e.g., inside a CI), it's very helpful to have a stack trace, which lead to crash, to be printed out. This change adds a signal handler that will capture and print out symbolized backtrace: $ sudo ./test_progs -t mmap test_mmap:PASS:skel_open_and_load 0 nsec test_mmap:PASS:bss_mmap 0 nsec test_mmap:PASS:data_mmap 0 nsec Caught signal #11!

But it's still a step forward without adding extra libraries to get a better symbolization. Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@xxxxxx>
Applied, thanks!
