[ Upstream commit 594b27e677b35f9734b1969d175ebc6146741109 ]
Nothing prevents the following:
pvclock_gtod_notify()
queue_work(system_long_wq, &pvclock_gtod_work);
...
remove_module(kvm);
...
work_queue_run()
pvclock_gtod_work() <- UAF
Ditto for any other operation on that workqueue list head which touches
pvclock_gtod_work after module removal.
Cancel the work in kvm_arch_exit() to prevent that.

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.
