Calling destroy_hist_field() on an expression will recursively free
any operands associated with the expression. If during expression
parsing the operands of the expression are already set when an error
is encountered, there is no need to explicity free the operands. Doing
so will result in destroy_hist_field() being called twice for the
operands and lead to a use-after-free (UAF) error.
If the operands are associated with the expression, only call
destroy_hist_field() on the expression since the operands will be
recursively freed.

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.
