BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838467 [ Upstream commit 085ebfe9 ] perf_sample_regs_user() uses 'current->mm' to test for the presence of userspace, but this is insufficient, consider use_mm(). A better test is: '!(current->flags & PF_KTHREAD)', exec() clears PF_KTHREAD after it sets the new ->mm but before it drops to userspace for the first time. Possibly obsoletes: bf05fc25 ("powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process") Reported-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reported-by: Young Xiao <92siuyang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Naveen N.
