Then we just found a vulnerability because there is bpf_send_signal_thread which can be attached to perf and it passes the verifier :) https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc5/source/kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c#L1145 It can defer sending the signal to the exit of irq context: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc5/source/kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c#L1108 Perhaps this is what makes it work?
