[PATCH 2/2] tty: wipe buffer if not echoing data

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 02 2018 - 13:17:24 EST


From: Greg KH <greg@xxxxxxxxx>

If we are not echoing the data to userspace, then perhaps it is a
"secret" so we should wipe it once we are done with it.

This mirrors the logic that the audit code has.
