connector: add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit events
The intention is to get notified of process failures as soon as possible, before a possible core dumping (which could be very long) (e.g. in some process-manager). Coredump and exit process events are perfect for such use cases (see 2b5faa4c553f "connector: Added coredumping event to the process connector"). The problem is that for now the process-manager cannot know the parent of a dying process using connectors. This could be useful if the process-manager should monitor for failures only children of certain parents, so we could filter the coredump and exit events by parent process and/or thread ID. Add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit process connectors event data. Signed-off-by: Stefan Strogin <sstrogin@cisco.com> Acked-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <zbr@ioremap.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
