Currently, there is an out-of-bounds read on array hpetp->hp_dev
in the following for loop:
870 for (i = 0; i < hdp->hd_nirqs; i++)
871 hpetp->hp_dev[i].hd_hdwirq = hdp->hd_irq[i];
This is due to the recent change from one-element array to
flexible-array member in struct hpets:
104 struct hpets {
...
113 struct hpet_dev hp_dev[];
114 };
This change affected the total size of the dynamic memory
allocation, decreasing it by one time the size of struct hpet_dev.
Fix this by adjusting the allocation size when calling
struct_size().

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.
