open.2: Describe race of direct read and fork() for unaligned buffers
...
This is a long standing problem (or a surprising feature) in our
implementation of get_user_pages() (used by direct IO). Since
several attempts to fix it failed (e.g.,
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2009-04/msg06542.html ,
or http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0903.1/01498.html
refused in http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/31569 )
and it's not completely clear whether we really want to fix
it given the costs. Let's at least document it.

utf-8.7: Two clarifications
...
This patch clarifies that 0xc0 and 0xc1 are not valid in any UTF-8
encoding[0], and it also references RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279.
[0] In order to have 0xc0, you'd have to have a two-byte encoding
with all the data bits zero in the first byte (and thus only six
bits of data), which would be an ASCII character encoded in the
non-shortest form. Similarly with 0xc1.
