commit 6829e274 upstream. Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() are always zeroed on Alpha, ARM (32bit), MIPS, PowerPC, x86/x86_64 and probably other architectures. It turned out that some drivers rely on this 'feature'. Allocated buffer might be also exposed to userspace with dma_mmap() call, so clearing it is desired from security point of view to avoid exposing random memory to userspace. This patch unifies dma_alloc_coherent() behavior on ARM64 architecture with other implementations by unconditionally zeroing allocated buffer.
