Linus Torvalds dca132a60f Two fixes for the AMD MCE driver:
- Populate the per CPU MCA bank descriptor pointer only after it has been
     completely set up to prevent a use-after-free in case that one of the
     subsequent initialization step fails
 
   - Implement a proper release function for the sysfs entries of MCA
     threshold controls instead of freeing the memory right in the CPU
     teardown code, which leads to another use-after-free when the
     associated sysfs file is opened and accessed.

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.
