David Hildenbrand 4b8dcb006e powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Don't leak kernel memory to user space
commit c74cf7a3d59a21b290fe0468f5b470d0b8ee37df upstream.

We currently leak kernel memory to user space, because memory
offlining doesn't do any implicit clearing of memory and we are
missing explicit clearing of memory.

Let's keep it simple and clear pages before removing the linear
mapping.

Reproduced in QEMU/TCG with 10 GiB of main memory:
  [root@localhost ~]# dd obs=9G if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null
  [... wait until "free -m" used counter no longer changes and cancel]
  19665802+0 records in
  1+0 records out
  9663676416 bytes (9.7 GB, 9.0 GiB) copied, 135.548 s, 71.3 MB/s

README

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.
