Max Makarov reported kernel panic [1] in perf user callchain code.
The reason for that is the race between uprobe_free_utask and bpf
profiler code doing the perf user stack unwind and is triggered
within uprobe_free_utask function:
- after current->utask is freed and
- before current->utask is set to NULL
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x9e759c37ee555c76: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI

It can be easily reproduced by running following commands in
separate terminals:
# while :; do bpftrace -e 'uprobe:/bin/ls:_start { printf("hit\n"); }' -c ls; done
# bpftrace -e 'profile:hz:100000 { @[ustack()] = count(); }'
Fixing this by making sure current->utask pointer is set to NULL
before we start to release the utask object.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
