ACPICA commit 29da9a2a3f5b2c60420893e5c6309a0586d7a329
ACPI is allocating an object using kmalloc(), but then frees it
using kmem_cache_free(<"Acpi-Namespace" kmem_cache>).
This is wrong and can lead to boot failures manifesting like this:
hpet0: 3 comparators, 64-bit 100.000000 MHz counter
clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc-early
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000000003ffe0018
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

Bisection leads to unrelated changes in slab; Vlastimil Babka
suggests an unrelated layout or slab merge change merely exposed
the underlying bug.

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.
