Subject: kernel/sys.c: avoid copying possible padding bytes in copy_to_user
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5e1aada08cd19ea652b2d32a250501d09b02ff2e;p=linux.git

kernel/sys.c: avoid copying possible padding bytes in copy_to_user

Initialization is not guaranteed to zero padding bytes so use an
explicit memset instead to avoid leaking any kernel content in any
possible padding bytes.
