Borislav Petkov 24975d23bd x86/a.out: Clear the dump structure initially
commit 10970e1b4be9c74fce8ab6e3c34a7d718f063f2c upstream.

dump_thread32() in aout_core_dump() does not clear the user32 structure
allocated on the stack as the first thing on function entry.

As a result, the dump.u_comm, dump.u_ar0 and dump.signal which get
assigned before the clearing, get overwritten.

Rename that function to fill_dump() to make it clear what it does and
call it first thing.

This was caught while staring at a patch by Derek Robson

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
