commit: 166f10836a653dfa280d4335603b52f685b8b1ef ("perf/core: Fix kernel register info leak via hardware skid") https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

[test failed on linux-next/master 68142f986ff04b2b70b31db00f719bf690f64a9a]

in testcase: perf-sanity-tests
with following parameters:

	perf_compiler: gcc
	group: group-00

config: x86_64-rhel-9.4-bpf
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 20 threads 1 sockets (Commet Lake) with 16G memory

If you fix the issue in a separate patch/commit (i.e. not just a new version of the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags

This defect was originally reported on the perf/core branch (see https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202607091054.7c96d6c6-lkp@intel.com/). Since the culprit patch has now been merged into the mainline kernel, we have re-submitted the report to ensure proper tracking.

[Mi, Dapeng]

Thanks, this looks the same issue with
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202607091054.7c96d6c6-lkp@intel.com/.

To avoid the kernel address leakage, perf clears the kernel address to 0 if
only user space SAMPLE_IP is required.

The proper fix could need to refine the test case and filter out these 0 IP
addresses. The fix is in progress and would be posted later.
