From 8202cd720637e891639bf8e4af00d5431553c5b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 18:03:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: sparc - replace memset by memzero_explicit Memset on a local variable may be removed when it is called just before the variable goes out of scope. Using memzero_explicit defeats this optimization. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ identifier x; type T; @@ { ... when any T x[...]; ... when any when exists - memset + memzero_explicit (x, -0, ...) ... when != x when strict } // This change was suggested by Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu --- arch/sparc/crypto/sha256_glue.c | 2 +- arch/sparc/crypto/sha512_glue.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/sparc/crypto/sha256_glue.c b/arch/sparc/crypto/sha256_glue.c index 41f27cca2a22..285268ca9279 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/crypto/sha256_glue.c +++ b/arch/sparc/crypto/sha256_glue.c @@ -135,7 +135,7 @@ static int sha224_sparc64_final(struct shash_desc *desc, u8 *hash) sha256_sparc64_final(desc, D); memcpy(hash, D, SHA224_DIGEST_SIZE); - memset(D, 0, SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE); + memzero_explicit(D, SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE); return 0; } diff --git a/arch/sparc/crypto/sha512_glue.c b/arch/sparc/crypto/sha512_glue.c index 9fff88541b8c..11eb36c3fc8c 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/crypto/sha512_glue.c +++ b/arch/sparc/crypto/sha512_glue.c @@ -139,7 +139,7 @@ static int sha384_sparc64_final(struct shash_desc *desc, u8 *hash) sha512_sparc64_final(desc, D); memcpy(hash, D, 48); - memset(D, 0, 64); + memzero_explicit(D, 64); return 0; } -- 2.39.5
