Subject: [PATCH 5/9] malloc: implement free_sensitive()
Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2024 10:24:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240722082405.926111-6-s.hauer@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240722082405.926111-1-s.hauer@pengutronix.de>

barebox sometimes stores sensitive data in memory. Add a
(k)free_sensitive() function which zeroes out the memory before freeing it.
