PMD = 0 is fine I guess, addr == 0 is not mapped.

This comment simply means that we also need to read the accumulated
counters in tsk->signal.

This is called under ->siglock, we can't race with exit/etc. But this
doesn't matter, it is not that we (say) get t == NULL or something like
this.

RIP == 0, and this looks "impossible", I do not see indirect function
calls in this paths.

Could you identify somehow the line which matches task_sched_runtime+0x99 ?
Probably do_task_delta_exec()...
