Is it guaranteed that tasks in the same thread group can always send
signals to each other, irrespective of their respective credentials
structs?
No. An LSM may chose to disallow this based on just about any
criteria it desires.
And apparmor is in fact doing this a few limited situations, userspace
has to request the profile change via an api, and regular policy
enforcement based on credentials mediates the signals. Its not
something we recommend but it has been used.
