I'm trying to apply kind of user space filters. Here is what I'd like to do. A user space application will control the behaviour of some programs. For example, the user can add a program to be under control, let's say mozilla, and I want to display information about mozilla and all its children with my user space application and apply some filters (things like renice or anything else). That's why I need to know when mozilla calls sys_fork. The problem with the signal is that it will be send to mozilla but not to my user space application right? So, is it possible to send from the do_fork() routine a signal to my user space application (that is not the current one when forking)? Otherwise, I was thinking to use the kernel event notification patch but I think that using the routine send_kevent() when forking will slow down my system.
