    connector: add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit events · b086ff87
    Stefan Strogin authored
    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 2b5faa4c
    
     "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.
