[PATCH] perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process

[Young Xiao]

When a kthread calls call_usermodehelper() the steps are:
  1. allocate current->mm
  2. load_elf_binary()
  3. populate current->thread.regs

While doing this, interrupts are not disabled. If there is a perf
interrupt in the middle of this process (i.e. step 1 has completed
but not yet reached to step 3) and if perf tries to read userspace
regs, kernel oops.

Fix it by setting abi to PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_NONE when userspace
pt_regs are not set.

See commit bf05fc25f268 ("powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs
user process") for details.
