Steven Rostedt (VMware) d4ad9a1cca ftrace: Reset fgd->hash in ftrace_graph_write()
fgd->hash is saved and then freed, but is never reset to either
ftrace_graph_hash nor ftrace_graph_notrace_hash. But if multiple writes are
performed, then the freed hash could be accessed again.

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # head -1000 available_filter_functions > /tmp/funcs
 # cat /tmp/funcs > set_graph_function

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.
