Well it is very likely that stack allocated structures have the same 
values in the padding bytes most of the time. So the problem is very 
subtle and hard to detect.

We've seen enough problems with that over the last ~10 years that I'm 
clearly in favor of adding something to checkpatch.pl to spill out a 
warning if "= { }" is used for zero initialization.

Alternatively some of the people who know gcc/clang better than I do 
could come up with a warning that you shouldn't cast a structure with 
uninitialized padding to void* or u8*.

I mean KASAN is already doing a great job detecting that kind of stuff, 
but for this you still need to hit the offending code path.

Thanks,
Christian.
