Merge #11196: Switch memory_cleanse implementation to BoringSSL's to ensure memory clearing even with -lto
1444c2e Switch memory_cleanse implementation to BoringSSL's to ensure memory clearing even with link-time optimization. (Adam Langley)
Pull request description:
The implementation we currently use from OpenSSL prevents the compiler from optimizing away clensing operations on blocks of memory that are about to be released, but this protection is not extended to link-time optimization. This commit copies the solution cooked up by Google compiler engineers which uses inline assembly directives to instruct the compiler not to optimize out the call under any circumstances. As the code is in-lined, this has the added advantage of removing one more OpenSSL dependency.
Regarding license compatibility, Google's contributions to BoringSSL library, including this code, is made available under the ISC license, which is MIT compatible.
