In order to immediately overwrite the old key on the stack, before servicing a userspace request for bytes, we use the remaining 32 bytes of block 0 as the key. This means moving indices 8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f -> 4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b. Since 4 < 8, for the kernel implementations of memcpy(), this doesn't actually appear to be a problem in practice. But relying on that characteristic seems a bit brittle. So let's change that to a proper memmove(), which is the by-the-books way of handling overlapping memory copies.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
