commit 51dede9c05df2b78acd6dcf6a17d21f0877d2d7b upstream.
Accessing the MCA thresholding controls in sysfs concurrently with CPU
hotplug can lead to a couple of KASAN-reported issues:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in sysfs_file_ops+0x155/0x180
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888367578940 by task grep/4019
and
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in show_error_count+0x15c/0x180
Read of size 2 at addr ffff888368a05514 by task grep/4454
for example. Both result from the fact that the threshold block
creation/teardown code frees the descriptor memory itself instead of
defining proper ->release function and leaving it to the driver core to
take care of that, after all sysfs accesses have completed.
Do that and get rid of the custom freeing code, fixing the above UAFs in
the process.

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.
