Hi Linus,
Please pull these late arm64 fixes for 4.13. They fix very early boot
failures with KASLR where the early mapping of the kernel is incorrect,
so the failure mode looks like a hang with no output. There's also a
signal-handling fix when a uaccess routine faults with a fatal signal
pending, which could be used to create unkillable user tasks using
userfaultfd and finally a state leak fix for the floating pointer registers
across a call to exec().
We're still seeing some random issues crop up (inode memory corruption
and spinlock recursion) but we've not managed to reproduce things reliably
enough to debug or bisect them yet.
Please pull,
Will
