However, BPF's bpf_get_task_stack() (and bpf_get_task_stack_sleepable()) pass task_pt_regs(current) when called on the current task, which are user mode regs for a user task, even if that task has already gone through exit_mm(), e.g. when called from a program attached to exit_files() or to the dying task's final sched_switch. perf_callchain_user() then unwinds the user stack without an mm. That access does not reliably fail: the user half of the address space belongs to whatever mm happens to be lazily loaded, if any, so the unwinder may read another task's memory. This affects e.g. arm64, riscv, loongarch and csky, whose perf_callchain_user() doesn't check current->mm itself. perf events themselves are not affected, as perf_callchain() already clears the user callchain request when current is not a user task with an mm. Check is_user_task(current) regardless of the regs' mode.
