lib/syscall: Clear return values when no stack
Commit:
aa1f1a639621 ("lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall()")
... added logic to handle a process stack not existing, but left sp and pc
uninitialized, which can be later reported via /proc/$pid/syscall for zombie
processes, potentially exposing kernel memory to userspace.
Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall before:
-1 0xffffffff9a060100 0xffff92f42d6ad900
Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall after:
-1 0x0 0x0
