From 5f74972ce69fdc6473f74253283408af75a3be15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:58:57 -0600 Subject: signal: Don't use structure initializers for struct siginfo The siginfo structure has all manners of holes with the result that a structure initializer is not guaranteed to initialize all of the bits. As we have to copy the structure to userspace don't even try to use a structure initializer. Instead use clear_siginfo followed by initializing selected fields. This gives a guarantee that uninitialized kernel memory is not copied to userspace. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
