Subject: [34-longterm 043/209] ipc: initialize structure memory to zero for compat functions

From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@...curity.com>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 03145beb455cf5c20a761e8451e30b8a74ba58d9 upstream.

This takes care of leaking uninitialized kernel stack memory to
userspace from non-zeroed fields in structs in compat ipc functions.
