From 421d82f5b3e75f94e31875e37d45cdf6a557c120 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nickolaus Woodruff Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 13:40:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: drbg - use memzero_explicit() for clearing sensitive data Compiler dead store optimization can sometimes remove final calls to memset() used to clear sensitive data at the end of a function. Replace trailing memset() calls with memzero_explicit() to preclude unwanted removal.
