Subject: [PATCH v1 0/8] Update to C11, fix signal undefined behavior

The use of C11 is mainstream in the kernel [1]. There was some
confusion on volatile and signal handlers in [2]. Switch to using
stdatomic.h (requires C11) and sig_atomic_t as per [3]. Thanks to Leo
Yan <leo.yan@...aro.org> for the suggestions.

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
