--- Patch [2]: [PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: selftests: Verify failed IOAPIC delivery preserves state ---
commit bdb3cd0c37699df03cd34fd3d221e67589076c39

KVM: selftests: Verify failed IOAPIC delivery preserves state

This commit adds regression coverage for I/O APIC interrupt delivery when no
local APIC can accept the interrupt. It verifies that failed delivery behaves
correctly for both level-triggered and edge-triggered interrupts.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this leak uninitialized stack memory to the kernel?

Since KVM_GET_IRQCHIP is defined as _IOWR, the kernel uses memdup_user() to
copy the entire struct kvm_irqchip from userspace. Because the struct contains
a 512-byte union and is declared uninitialized on the stack, passing it to the
kernel will trigger memory sanitizer or Valgrind errors during testing.

Could this be zero-initialized?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this struct also need to be zero-initialized to prevent memory
sanitizer errors when calling the KVM_GET_IRQCHIP ioctl?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this uninitialized struct also need to be zero-initialized for the
same reason?
