These structs have holes in them so we end up disclosing a few bytes of
uninitialized stack data.
drivers/misc/xilinx_sdfec.c:305 xsdfec_get_status() warn: check that 'status' doesn't leak information (struct has a hole after 'activity')
drivers/misc/xilinx_sdfec.c:449 xsdfec_get_turbo() warn: check that 'turbo_params' doesn't leak information (struct has a hole after 'scale')
We need to zero out the holes with memset().

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.
