+Subject: random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data
+
+From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
+
+commit d4c5efdb97773f59a2b711754ca0953f24516739 upstream.
+
+zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7)
+memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy,
+entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc.
+
+Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants)
+that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is
+being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto
+code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in
+and doesn't need any dependencies then. ]
+
+Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041
