Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 028/281] perf/callchain: Force USER_DS when
 invoking perf_callchain_user()

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

[ Upstream commit 88b0193d9418c00340e45e0a913a0813bc6c8c96 ]

Perf can generate and record a user callchain in response to a synchronous
request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS),
then we can end up walking the user stack (and dereferencing/saving whatever we
find there) without the protections usually afforded by checks such as
access_ok.

Rather than play whack-a-mole with each architecture's stack unwinding
implementation, fix the root of the problem by ensuring that we force USER_DS
when invoking perf_callchain_user from the perf core.
