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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
