From faf1f22b61f2715224ba9b579e2a983e99b86823 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2018 17:27:42 -0600 Subject: signal: Ensure generic siginfos the kernel sends have all bits initialized Call clear_siginfo to ensure stack allocated siginfos are fully initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions. This ensures that if there is the kind of confusion documented by TRAP_FIXME, FPE_FIXME, or BUS_FIXME the kernel won't send unitialized data to userspace when the kernel generates a signal with SI_USER but the copy to userspace assumes it is a different kind of signal, and different fields are initialized. This also prepares the way for turning copy_siginfo_to_user into a copy_to_user, by removing the need in many cases to perform a field by field copy simply to skip the uninitialized fields.
