commitd0a72efac8upstream. The cpufreq driver has a use-after-free that we can hit if: a) There's an OCC message pending when the notifier is registered, and b) The cpufreq driver fails to register with the core. When a) occurs the notifier schedules a workqueue item to handle the message. The backing work_struct is located on chips[].throttle and when b) happens we clean up by freeing the array. Once we get to the (now free) queued item and the kernel crashes.

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.
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.
