    perf_counter: Zero dead bytes from ftrace raw samples size alignment · 1853db0e
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    After aligning the ftrace raw samples, there are dead bytes storing
    random data from the stack. We don't want to leak these to userspace,
    then zero these out.
    
    Before:
    
    	0x2de88 [0x50]: event: 9
    	.
    	. ... raw event: size 80 bytes

                                                             Leak
