There was a report of NULL pointer dereference in ETF enable
path for perf CS mode with PID monitoring. It is almost 100%
reproducible when the process to monitor is something very
active such as chrome and with ETF as the sink, not ETR.
But code path shows that ETB has a similar path as ETF, so
there could be possible NULL pointer dereference crash in
ETB as well. Currently in a bid to find the pid, the owner
is dereferenced via task_pid_nr() call in etb_enable_perf()
and with owner being NULL, we can get a NULL pointer
dereference, so have a similar fix as ETF where we cache PID
in alloc_buffer() callback which is called as the part of
etm_setup_aux().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
