[ Upstream commit 8665569e97dd52920713b95675409648986b5b0d ] Given corruption in the ftrace records, it might be possible to allocate tmp_prz without assigning prz to it, but still marking it as needing to be freed, which would cause at least a NULL dereference. smatch warnings: fs/pstore/ram.c:340 ramoops_pstore_read() error: we previously assumed 'prz' could be null (see line 255) https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2018-December/055528.html Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Fixes: 2fbea82bbb89 ("pstore: Merge per-CPU ftrace records into one") Cc: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
