For task_exit (or task_reaped)

        field:pid_t pid;        offset:8;       size:4; signed:1;
        field:short oom_score_adj;      offset:12;      size:2; signed:1;
        field:int exit_signal;  offset:16;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:int exit_code;    offset:20;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:int exit_state;   offset:24;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:__data_loc char[] comm;   offset:28;      size:4; signed:1;

sched_process_free
        field:char comm[16];    offset:8;       size:16;        signed:1;
        field:pid_t pid;        offset:24;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:int prio; offset:28;      size:4; signed:1;

So information about oom_score_adj, and it's exit parameters.

And it is also gives information on kernel tasks. The task exit also
gives information about it's parent.   sched_process_free is "idle" as parent.

With the exit_signal you can also see that the process is gone, not only one of the thread that might not be the last.
