Have your signal handler in your user process set a flag, informing your user process's main loop to read a /proc/ file, sysctl, ioctl, character device, etc, when it next has a chance. Traditional unix signals cannot send more than just their number to a process. POSIX Realtime signals can send more data, but I am not clear the level of POSIX realtime signal support in the linux kernel.
