[PATCH 3.16 237/370] arm64/ptrace: Avoid uninitialised struct padding in fpr_set()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>

commit aeb1f39d814b2e21e5e5706a48834bfd553d0059 upstream.

This patch adds an explicit __reserved[] field to user_fpsimd_state
to replace what was previously unnamed padding.

This ensures that data in this region are propagated across
assignment rather than being left possibly uninitialised at the
destination.
