3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chen Jie <chenjie6@huawei.com>
commit 5a07168d8d89b00fe1760120714378175b3ef992 upstream.
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 ]
