* doc/lispref/files.texi (File Attributes):
Document file-attributes atomicity.
* etc/NEWS: Document the fix.
* src/dired.c (file_attributes): New args DIRNAME and FILENAME,
for diagnostics. All callers changed. On platforms like
GNU/Linux that support O_PATH, fix a race condition in
file-attributes and similar functions, so that these functions do
not return nonsense if a directory entry is replaced while getting
its attributes. On non-GNU platforms, do a better (though not
perfect) job of detecting the race, and return nil if detected.
This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs. This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.
