Subject: [PATCH 3.12 74/88] ALSA: timer: Fix leak in events via snd_timer_user_tinterrupt

From: Kangjie Lu <kangjielu@...il.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit e4ec8cc8039a7063e24204299b462bd1383184a5 upstream.

The stack object “r1” has a total size of 32 bytes. Its field
“event” and “val” both contain 4 bytes padding. These 8 bytes
padding bytes are sent to user without being initialized.
