3.16.66-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> commit 10970e1b4be9c74fce8ab6e3c34a7d718f063f2c upstream. dump_thread32() in aout_core_dump() does not clear the user32 structure allocated on the stack as the first thing on function entry. As a result, the dump.u_comm, dump.u_ar0 and dump.signal which get assigned before the clearing, get overwritten. Rename that function to fill_dump() to make it clear what it does and call it first thing. This was caught while staring at a patch by Derek Robson <robsonde@xxxxxxxxx>.
