    Subject[045/127] KVM: x86: fix information leak to userland
    2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------


    From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@gmail.com>

    commit 97e69aa62f8b5d338d6cff49be09e37cc1262838 upstream.

    Structures kvm_vcpu_events, kvm_debugregs, kvm_pit_state2 and
    kvm_clock_data are copied to userland with some padding and reserved
    fields unitialized. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack
    memory. We have to initialize them to zero.

    In patch v1 Jan Kiszka suggested to fill reserved fields with zeros
    instead of memset'ting the whole struct. It makes sense as these
    fields are explicitly marked as padding. No more fields need zeroing.
