NAME
       probe::signal.sys_tgkill - Sending kill signal to a thread group

SYNOPSIS
       signal.sys_tgkill

VALUES
       name
	   Name of the probe point

       sig_name
	   A string representation of the signal

       sig
	   The specific kill signal sent to the process

       tgid
	   The thread group ID of the thread receiving the kill signal

       pid_name
	   The name of the signal recipient

       sig_pid
	   The PID of the thread receiving the kill signal

DESCRIPTION
       The tgkill call is similar to tkill, except that it also allows the caller to specify the thread group ID of the thread to be signalled.
       This protects against TID reuse.
