From: David Sharp <dhsharp@xxxxxxxxxx>
Allow the kernel ring buffer to accumulate and drop events. Use wait conditions
to block the reader threads just before poll(). In SIGUSR1 handler, signal the
wait conditions to unblock the threads. Each tracer thread has its own wait
condition and trigger count. Don't warn about the (intentionally) dropped
events.
