Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] perf: Enqueue SIGTRAP always via task_work.
A signal is delivered by raising irq_work() which works from any context
including NMI. irq_work() can be delayed if the architecture does not
provide an interrupt vector. In order not to lose a signal, the signal
is injected via task_work during event_sched_out().
Instead going via irq_work, the signal could be added directly via
task_work. The signal is sent to current and can be enqueued on its
return path to userland instead of triggering irq_work. A dummy IRQ is
required in the NMI case to ensure the task_work is handled before
returning to user land. For this irq_work is used. An alternative would
be just raising an interrupt like arch_send_call_function_single_ipi().
During testing with `remove_on_exec' it become visible that the event
can be enqueued via NMI during execve(). The task_work must not be kept
because free_event() will complain later. Also the new task will not
have a sighandler installed.
Queue signal via task_work. Remove perf_event::pending_sigtrap and
and use perf_event::pending_work instead. Raise irq_work in the NMI case
for a dummy interrupt. Remove the task_work if the event is freed.
