The send_signal tracepoint tests are non-deterministically failing in
CI. The test works as follows:
1. Two pairs of file descriptors are created using the pipe() function.
One pair is used to communicate between a parent process -> child
process, and the other for the reverse direction.
2. A child is fork()'ed. The child process registers a signal handler,
notifies its parent that the signal handler is registered, and then
and waits for its parent to have enabled a BPF program that sends a
signal.
3. The parent opens and loads a BPF skeleton with programs that send
signals to the child process. The different programs are triggered by
different perf events (either NMI or normal perf), or by regular
tracepoints. The signal is delivered to the child whenever the child
triggers the program.
4. The child's signal handler is invoked, which sets a flag saying that
the signal handler was reached. The child then signals to the parent
that it received the signal, and the test ends.
The perf testcases (send_signal_perf{_thread} and
send_signal_nmi{_thread}) work 100% of the time, but the tracepoint
testcases fail non-deterministically because the tracepoint is not
always being fired for the child.
There are two tracepoint programs registered in the test:
'tracepoint/sched/sched_switch', and
'tracepoint/syscalls/sys_enter_nanosleep'. The child never intentionally
blocks, nor sleeps, so neither tracepoint is guaranteed to be triggered.
To fix this, we can have the child trigger the nanosleep program with a
usleep().
Before this patch, the test would fail locally every 2-3 runs. Now, it
doesn't fail after more than 1000 runs.

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 Restructured Text 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.
