From: Borislav Petkov Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 13:28:03 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86/a.out: Clear the dump structure initially X-Git-Tag: v5.4-rc1~1560^2~4 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10970e1b4be9c74fce8ab6e3c34a7d718f063f2c;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git x86/a.out: Clear the dump structure initially 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 .
