Linus Torvalds b982df72ef Two fixes for use-after-free and memory leaking in the EDAC core, by
Robert Richter.
 
 Debug options like DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE, KASAN and DEBUG_KMEMLEAK
 unearthed issues with the lifespan of memory allocated by the EDAC
 memory controller descriptor due to misdesigned memory freeing, done
 partially by the EDAC core *and* the driver core, which is problematic
 to say the least.
 
 These two are minimal fixes to take care of stable - a proper rework is
 following which cleans up that mess properly.

README

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.
