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.

The kernel may spew a WARNING about UBSAN undefined behavior at handling ALSA timer ioctl SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_NEXT_DEVICE: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in sound/core/timer.c:1524:19 signed integer overflow: 2147483647 + 1 cannot be represented in type 'int' Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:77 [inline] dump_stack+0x122/0x1c8 lib/dump_stack.c:113 ubsan_epilogue+0x12/0x86 lib/ubsan.c:159 handle_overflow+0x1c2/0x21f lib/ubsan.c:190 __ubsan_handle_add_overflow+0x2a/0x31 lib/ubsan.c:198 snd_timer_user_next_device sound/core/timer.c:1524 [inline] __snd_timer_user_ioctl+0x204d/0x2520 sound/core/timer.c:1939 snd_timer_user_ioctl+0x67/0x95 sound/core/timer.c:1994 .... It happens only when a value with INT_MAX is passed, as we're incrementing it unconditionally. So the fix is trivial, check the value with INT_MAX. Although the bug itself is fairly harmless, it's better to fix it so that fuzzers won't hit this again later.
