commit bf24daac8f2bd5b8affaec03c2be1d20bcdd6837 upstream. 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().

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.
