2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Vasiliy Kulikov <[email protected]> commit 3af54c9bd9e6f14f896aac1bb0e8405ae0bc7a44 upstream. The shmid_ds structure is copied to userland with shm_unused{,2,3} fields unitialized. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
