[PATCH v2] x86: kvm: fix information leak to userland

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Sat Oct 30 2010 - 10:11:35 EST


Structure kvm_ppc_pvinfo is copied to userland with pad field
unitialized. Structure kvm_clock_data is copied to userland with
flags and pad fields unitialized. It leads to leaking of contents
of kernel stack memory.

I cannot compile this driver, so it is not tested at all.

As it is not compilable, I've missed and typed wrong var name in v1, sorry.
