Subject: x86/elf/64: Clear more registers in elf_common_init()
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7bcdea4d050cbe4912854a68b93494203eec8b24;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

x86/elf/64: Clear more registers in elf_common_init()

Before we start calling execve in contexts that honor the full
pt_regs, we need to teach it to initialize all registers.
