Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf: Fix crash in perf_instruction_pointer() when
ppmu is not set
References: bsc#1065729
Patch-mainline: v5.13-rc7
Git-commit: 60b7ed54a41b550d50caf7f2418db4a7e75b5bdc
On systems without any specific PMU driver support registered, running
perf record causes Oops.
The relevant portion from call trace:
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000040
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0021f0c
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

During perf record session, perf_instruction_pointer() is called to
capture the sample IP. This function in core-book3s accesses
ppmu->flags. If a platform specific PMU driver is not registered, ppmu
is set to NULL and accessing its members results in a crash. Fix this
crash by checking if ppmu is set.
