Don't make it a plugin. Just put the trace points into the signal
handler, and then you enable them via the event tracer.

I took a quick look at this patch and I so far like it. But this will
not help you with events, but filtering will. That is:

 # echo "common_pid == 1234" > /debug/tracing/events/signals/signal/format

You can do multiple pids with "common_pid == 1234 || common_pid == 1235"
