      On platforms which support sigwaitinfo() (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L), this can be used instead of sigwait() to get information about the process that sent the signal. This is done via the si_pid and si_uid fields of the siginfo_t struct, when si_code indicates that the signal has come from a process (see Signal Actions). Linux is our only supported platform supporting this (sigwaitinfo() man page).

      Currently the signalProcessingThread uses sigwait(), but it would be better if it used sigwaitinfo() if possible, and then included some details of the sending process in the "got signal..." log line. At a minimum this would be the pid and uid from the siginfo_t. Even better would be to get some extra info, such as the argv of the pid, and the parent pids, etc (although this would likely involve platform specific code, eg. reading from /proc/pid in Linux). eg. something like:
