From b32df66680923454b03a7b74b0bd8df917f4197c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 29 May 2019 14:37:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Fix perf_sample_regs_user() mm check [ Upstream commit 085ebfe937d7a7a5df1729f35a12d6d655fea68c ] 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.
