Hi,
This is a patch series to CVE-2021-21781.
The patch 9c698bff66ab ("RM: ensure the signal page contains defined
contents") depepds on memset32. However, this function is not provided
in 4.4 and 4.9. Therefore, we need the patch 3b3c4babd898 ("lib/string.c:
add multibyte memset functions") to apply this feature.
Another option is to implement only the memset32 function in
arch/arm/kernel/signal.c only or using loop memset, but for simplicity
we have taken the way of applying the original patch 3b3c4babd898
("lib/string.c: add multibyte memset functions") that provides memset32
in mainline kernel.
Best regards,
Nobuhiro
