Subject: [PATCH] riscv: process: fix kernel info leakage
Date:   Sat, 29 Oct 2022 19:34:50 +0800

thread_struct's s[12] may contain random kernel memory content, which
may be finally leaked to userspace. This is a security hole. Fix it
by clearing the s[12] array in thread_struct when fork.

As for kthread case, it's better to clear the s[12] array as well.

Previously, it's one of the series of "riscv: entry: further clean up
and VMAP_STACK fix". This is a fix, so I move it out of the series and
send it separately
