      ARM: allow alignment fault mode to be configured at kernel boot · d944d549
      Russell King authored
      Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
      their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
      boot.  This can prevent systems booting properly.
      
      There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
      default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
      booted.
      
      So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
      the kernel command line.

      CacheFiles: Fix a race in cachefiles_delete_object() vs rename · 8f9941ae
      David Howells authored
      cachefiles_delete_object() can race with rename.  It gets the parent directory
      of the object it's asked to delete, then locks it - but rename may have changed
      the object's parent between the get and the completion of the lock.
      
      However, if such a circumstance is detected, we abandon our attempt to delete
      the object - since it's no longer in the index key path, it won't be seen
      again by lookups of that key.  The assumption is that cachefilesd may have
      culled it by renaming it to the graveyard for later destruction.
