Madhavan Srinivasan cd1231d703 powerpc/perf: Prevent kernel address leak via perf_get_data_addr()
Sampled Data Address Register (SDAR) is a 64-bit register that
contains the effective address of the storage operand of an
instruction that was being executed, possibly out-of-order, at or
around the time that the Performance Monitor alert occurred.

In certain scenario SDAR happen to contain the kernel address even for
userspace only sampling. Add checks to prevent it.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
