From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 20:36:37 +0000 (-0400) Subject: asm-generic: make copy_from_user() zero the destination properly X-Git-Tag: v3.2.84~52 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=263fd98a0f2c8bb934ac2a25d97f9913378a4803;ds=sidebyside asm-generic: make copy_from_user() zero the destination properly commit 2545e5da080b4839dd859e3b09343a884f6ab0e3 upstream. ... in all cases, including the failing access_ok() Note that some architectures using asm-generic/uaccess.h have __copy_from_user() not zeroing the tail on failure halfway through. This variant works either way.
