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.

ALSA sequencer core has a mechanism to load the enumerated devices
automatically, and it's performed in an off-load work. This seems
causing some race when a sequencer is removed while the pending
autoload work is running. As syzkaller spotted, it may lead to some
use-after-free:

The fix is simply to assure canceling the autoload work at removing
the device.

Add a jump target so that a bit of exception handling can be better reused
at the end of this function.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

BUG_ON() is the worst choice for a trivial sanity check.
Either it should be removed or replaced with a softer one like
WARN_ON() if still really needed.

The debug functions uses wrongly the %pF instead of the %pS printk format
specifier for printing symbols for the address returned by
_builtin_return_address(0). Fix it for the ia64, ppc64 and parisc64
architectures.

ASoC: Fixes for the CS43130 driver
A couple of warning fixes for the newly added CS43130 driver.
The CA0132 codec driver doesn't call the free function at its error
path of the probe, which leaves the allocated memory. Call
ca0132_free() properly at the error handling.
Fixes: a73d511c4867 ("ALSA: hda/ca0132: Add unsol handler for DSP and jack detection")
