Subject: [PATCH] bpf: skip task with pid=1 in send_signal_common()
Date:   Fri,  6 Jan 2023 16:48:38 +0800

The following kernel panic can be triggered when a task with pid=1
attach a prog that attempts to send killing signal to itself, also
see [1] for more details:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 6.1.0-09652-g59fe41b5255f #148
Call Trace:

So skip task with pid=1 in bpf_send_signal_common() to avoid the panic.
