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. Queue signal via task_work and consider possible NMI context. Remove perf_event::pending_sigtrap and and use perf_event::pending_work instead.

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.
