Linus Torvalds 3ca933aad0 tracing fix for 6.16:
- Do not free "head" variable in filter_free_subsystem_filters()
 
   The first error path jumps to "free_now" label but first frees the newly
   allocated "head" variable. But the "free_now" code checks this variable,
   and if it is not NULL, it will iterate the list. As this list variable
   was already initialized, the "free_now" code will not do anything as it
   is empty. But freeing it will cause a UAF bug. The error path should
   simply jump to the "free_now" label and leave the "head" variable alone.

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 reStructuredText 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.
