Hi Linus, Please pull this var-init update for v5.9-rc1. (This is the tree formerly known as "mem-init", which you correctly pointed out was not a good name.) This adds the "zero" init option from Clang, which is being used widely in production builds of Android and Chrome OS (though it keeps the "pattern" init, which is better for debug builds).
Thanks! -Kees The following changes since commit b3a9e3b9622ae10064826dccb4f7a52bd88c7407: Linux 5.8-rc1 (2020-06-14 12:45:04 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git tags/var-init-v5.9-rc1 for you to fetch changes up to f0fe00d4972a8cd4b98cc2c29758615e4d51cdfe: security: allow using Clang's zero initialization for stack variables (2020-06-16 02:06:23 -0700) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Automatic variable initialization updates for v5.9-rc1 - Introduce CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO (Alexander Potapenko) ---------------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] (1): security: allow using Clang's zero initialization for stack variables Makefile | 13 +++++++++++-- init/main.c | 12 +++++++----- security/Kconfig.hardening | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 3 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) -- Kees Cook
