commit9594b5be7eupstream. I was puzzled while looking at /proc/interrupts and random things showed up between reboots. This occurred more often but I realised it later. The "correct" output should be: |38: 11861 atmel-aic5 2 Level ttyS0 but I saw sometimes |38: 6426 atmel-aic5 2 Level tty1 and accounted it wrongly as correct. This is use after free and the former example randomly got the "old" pointer which pointed to the same content. With SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM and HARDENED I even got |38: 7067 atmel-aic5 2 Level E=Started User Manager for UID 0 or other nonsense. As it turns out the tty, pointer that is accessed in atmel_startup(), is freed() before atmel_shutdown(). It seems to happen quite often that the tty for ttyS0 is allocated and freed while ->shutdown is not invoked. I don't do anything special - just a systemd boot :) Use dev_name(&pdev->dev) as the IRQ name for request_irq(). This exists as long as the driver is loaded so no use-after-free here.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
