From: Naveen N. Rao <naveen.n.rao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit b992f01e66150fc5e90be4a96f5eb8e634c8249e upstream. task_pt_regs() can return NULL on powerpc for kernel threads. This is then used in __bpf_get_stack() to check for user mode, resulting in a kernel oops. Guard against this by checking return value of task_pt_regs() before trying to obtain the call chain.
