futex: Ensure that futex address is aligned in handle_futex_death()
The futex code requires that the user space addresses of futexes are 32bit aligned. sys_futex() checks this in futex_get_keys() but the robust list code has no alignment check in place. As a consequence the kernel crashes on architectures with strict alignment requirements in handle_futex_death() when trying to cmpxchg() on an unaligned futex address which was retrieved from the robust list. [ tglx: Rewrote changelog, proper sizeof() based alignement check and add comment ] Fixes: 0771dfefc9e5 ("[PATCH] lightweight robust futexes: core") Signed-off-by: Chen Jie <chenjie6@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: <dvhart@infradead.org> Cc: <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: <zengweilin@huawei.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1552621478-119787-1-git-send-email-chenjie6@huawei.com
