Subject[PATCH v2 0/8] Update to C11, fix signal undefined behavior
From
The use of C11 is mainstream in the kernel [1]. There was some
confusion on volatile and signal handlers in [2] for which atomics
(present in C11) make things clearer. Switch to using volatile
sig_atomic_t as per [3]. Thanks to Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> for
the suggestions.

v2. Remove unneeded stdatomic.h includes for sig_atomic_t as it is
declared in signal.h.

Ian Rogers (8):
perf build: Update to C standard to gnu11
perf record: Use sig_atomic_t for signal handlers
perf daemon: Use sig_atomic_t to avoid UB
perf ftrace: Use sig_atomic_t to avoid UB
perf session: Change type to avoid UB
perf stat: Use sig_atomic_t to avoid UB
perf top: Use sig_atomic_t to avoid UB
perf trace: Use sig_atomic_t to avoid UB
