perf_counter: Zero dead bytes from ftrace raw samples size alignment
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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:
