From 1853db0e02ae4088f102b0d8e59e83dc98f93f03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:38:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: Zero dead bytes from ftrace raw samples size alignment After aligning the ftrace raw samples, there are dead bytes storing random data from the stack. We don't want to leak these to userspace, then zero these out.
