Felix Kuehling 6856e4b65f drm/amdgpu: Mark KFD VRAM allocations for wipe on release
Memory used by KFD applications can contain sensitive information that
should not be leaked to other processes. The current approach to prevent
leaks is to clear VRAM at allocation time. This is not effective because
memory can be reused in other ways without being cleared. Synchronously
clearing memory on the allocation path also carries a significant
performance penalty.

Stop clearing memory at allocation time. Instead mark the memory for
wipe on release.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
