[PATCH bpf-next v4 1/2] bpf: implement bpf_send_signal_task() kfunc

From: Puranjay Mohan
Date: Tue Oct 08 2024 - 07:50:19 EST


Implement bpf_send_signal_task kfunc that is similar to
bpf_send_signal_thread and bpf_send_signal helpers but can be used to
send signals to other threads and processes. It also supports sending a
cookie with the signal similar to sigqueue().

If the receiving process establishes a handler for the signal using the
SA_SIGINFO flag to sigaction(), then it can obtain this cookie via the
si_value field of the siginfo_t structure passed as the second argument
to the handler.
