From: Baptiste Lepers <baptiste.lepers@gmail.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.207 commit c09a84aea0d3902f955cc6504e1c25cddb7c48c2 -------------------------------- commit b89a05b21f46150ac10a962aa50109250b56b03b upstream. In perf_event_addr_filters_apply, the task associated with the event (event->ctx->task) is read using READ_ONCE at the beginning of the function, checked, and then re-read from event->ctx->task, voiding all guarantees of the checks. Reuse the value that was read by READ_ONCE to ensure the consistency of the task struct throughout the function.
