[PATCH 4.4 03/50] perf: Return proper values for user stack errors

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Apr 27 2018 - 10:00:50 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 78b562fbfa2cf0a9fcb23c3154756b690f4905c1 upstream.

Return immediately when we find issue in the user stack checks. The
error value could get overwritten by following check for
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR.
