Rob Herring f8274f14a9 Add checks to (1) overlay apply process and (2) memory freeing
triggered by overlay release.  The checks are intended to detect
 possible memory leaks and invalid overlays.
 
 The checks revealed bugs in existing code.  Fixed the bugs.
 
 While fixing bugs, noted other issues, which are fixed in
 separate patches.

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.
