From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Thu Jul 14 2016 - 04:22:00 EST


From: Kangjie Lu <kangjielu@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit cec8f96e49d9be372fdb0c3836dcf31ec71e457e upstream.

The stack object âtreadâ has a total size of 32 bytes. Its field
âeventâ and âvalâ both contain 4 bytes padding. These 8 bytes
padding bytes are sent to user without being initialized.
