4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Borislav Petkov bp@suse.de
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 robsonde@gmail.com.
