Subject: [PATCH 4.8 010/138] gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix information leak

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

------------------

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@...afoo.de>

commit 0f4bbb233743bdfd51d47688b0bc2561f310488b upstream.

The GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL handler allocates a gpiochip_info struct on the
stack and then passes it to copy_to_user(). But depending on the length of
the GPIO chip name and label the struct is only partially initialized.

This exposes the previous, potentially sensitive, stack content to the
issuing userspace application. To avoid this make sure that the struct is
fully initialized.

Fixes: 521a2ad6f862 ("gpio: add userspace ABI for GPIO line information")
