The following problem has been reported by George Kennedy:
Since commit 7fef431be9 ("mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail
in __free_pages_core()") the following use after free occurs
intermittently when ACPI tables are accessed.

ACPI tables mapped via kmap() do not have their mapped pages
reserved and the pages can be "stolen" by the buddy allocator.
Apparently, on the affected system, the ACPI table in question is
not located in "reserved" memory, like ACPI NVS or ACPI Data, that
will not be used by the buddy allocator, so the memory occupied by
that table has to be explicitly reserved to prevent the buddy
allocator from using it.
In order to address this problem, rearrange the initialization of the
ACPI tables on x86 to locate the initial tables earlier and reserve
the memory occupied by them.
The other architectures using ACPI should not be affected by this
change.

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.
