Subject[PATCH 3.18 18/92] strscpy: zero any trailing garbage bytes in the destination
Date
3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>

commit 990486c8af044f89bddfbde1d1cf9fde449bedbf upstream.

It's possible that the destination can be shadowed in userspace
(as, for example, the perf buffers are now). So we should take
care not to leak data that could be inspected by userspace.
