Zero-initialize linux note sections
This patches changes linux-tdep.c so that the buffer used to write note sections when generating a core file is zero-initialized. This way, bytes that are not collected won't contain random data (e.g. padding bytes). gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-10-26 Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com> * linux-tdep.c (linux_collect_regset_section_cb): Use std::vector<gdb_byte> instead of char * and malloc for buf. Remove xfree.
