Vegard Nossum 8624e2c5af ACPICA: Always create namespace nodes using acpi_ns_create_node()
commit 25928deeb1e4e2cdae1dccff349320c6841eb5f8 upstream.

ACPICA commit 29da9a2a3f5b2c60420893e5c6309a0586d7a329

ACPI is allocating an object using kmalloc(), but then frees it
using kmem_cache_free(<"Acpi-Namespace" kmem_cache>).

This is wrong and can lead to boot failures manifesting like this:

    hpet0: 3 comparators, 64-bit 100.000000 MHz counter
    clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc-early
    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000000003ffe0018

Bisection leads to unrelated changes in slab; Vlastimil Babka
suggests an unrelated layout or slab merge change merely exposed
the underlying bug.

README

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.
