Subject: drivers/char/hpet.c: fix information leak to userland
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dae512edc6e945e127f0848aa757055265d70aa2;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

drivers/char/hpet.c: fix information leak to userland

Structure info is copied to userland with some padding fields unitialized.
It leads to leaking of stack memory.
