            Bug ID: 26697
           Summary: NULL pointer dereference might happen in
                    get_utrace_lock()
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: agentzh at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

We often observed kernel panics like the following when fuzzing systemtap with
load:

```
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
 #9 [ffff8843e56ffd20] get_utrace_lock at ffffffffc08258c6 [stap_X_40544]
```

Investigating the kdump reveals that the NULL pointer is returned by the
task_utrace_struct() function.
