There is a potential security issue that perf kernel samples
may be leaked even though kernel sampling is disabled. For fixing
the potential leakage, the idea is to use instruction_pointer_set
to set invalid ip address in leaked perf samples in some cases.

But instruction_pointer_set is missing on some architectures.
Define instruction_pointer_set for these architectures.

AFAICT you forgot to actually Cc the maintainers for all that.


Thanks so much for helping to Cc the maintainers. I just checked the MAINTAINERS file and Cc the maintainer for PTRACE SUPPORT but I forgot to use the get_maintainer.pl script. :(

Thanks
