Subject[for-linus][PATCH 5/5] tracing: Do not set trace clock if tracefs lockdown is in effect
From: Masami Ichikawa <masami256@gmail.com>

When trace_clock option is not set and unstable clcok detected,
tracing_set_default_clock() sets trace_clock(ThinkPad A285 is one of
case). In that case, if lockdown is in effect, null pointer
dereference error happens in ring_buffer_set_clock().

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 17911ff38aa58 ("tracing: Add locked_down checks to the open calls of files created for tracefs")
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1788488
