Recently, in commit 13aa93c70e71 ("random: add and use memzero_explicit()
for clearing data"), we have found that GCC may optimize some memset()
cases away when it detects a stack variable is not being used anymore
and going out of scope. This can happen, for example, in cases when we
are clearing out sensitive information such as keying material or any
e.g. intermediate results from crypto computations, etc.
With the help of Coccinelle, we can figure out and fix such occurences
in the crypto subsytem as well. Julia Lawall provided the following
Coccinelle program:
@@
type T;
identifier x;
@@
T x;
... when exists
when any
-memset
+memzero_explicit
(&x,
-0,
...)
... when != x
when strict
@@
type T;
identifier x;
@@
T x[...];
... when exists
when any
-memset
+memzero_explicit
(x,
-0,
...)
... when != x
when strict
Therefore, make use of the drop-in replacement memzero_explicit() for
exactly such cases instead of using memset().

v1 -> v2:
- There was one more non-array case in vmac.c
Herbert, Ted, I have posted my original patch that introduces
memzero_explicit() infrastructure along with its first users
that fixes such occurences to Ted's random tree [1].
That means, this one last patch on that regard would be on
top of it as an outcome of an audit in the crypto subsystem.
Would the two of you be okay, if Ted takes it to random as
well (since the random fix is not yet in mainline)? Changes
are minimal and rather uncomplicated, but I think it would be
quite important to get fixed. Thanks!
