crypto: sha - replace memset by memzero_explicit
Memset on a local variable may be removed when it is called just before the variable goes out of scope. Using memzero_explicit defeats this optimization. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier x; type T; @@ { ... when any T x[...]; ... when any when exists - memset + memzero_explicit (x, -0, ...) ... when != x when strict } // </smpl> This change was suggested by Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
