And that commit has *NOT* solved the problem. perf_callchain_user()
can be called synchronously, without passing through that code.
Tracepoint shite...
That set_fs() should be done in get_perf_callchain(), just around the call of
perf_callchain_user(). Along with pagefault_disable(), actually.
BTW, that's a nice example demonstrating why doing that on the kernel
boundary is wrong. Wider (in theory) area being "protected" => easier
to miss the ways not crossing its border.
