[PATCH 4.9 07/44] powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

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

From: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit bf05fc25f268cd62f147f368fe65ad3e5b04fe9f upstream.

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 with following log:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000000da0fc
  ...

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