Subject: [PATCH] calloc: Use calloc() at most places
c294fc
c294fc
This modifies most of the places we do some form of:
c294fc
c294fc
  X = malloc(Y * Z);
c294fc
c294fc
to use calloc(Y, Z) instead.
c294fc
c294fc
Among other issues, this fixes:
c294fc
  - allocation of integer overflow in grub_png_decode_image_header()
c294fc
    reported by Chris Coulson,
c294fc
  - allocation of integer overflow in luks_recover_key()
c294fc
    reported by Chris Coulson,
c294fc
  - allocation of integer overflow in grub_lvm_detect()
c294fc
    reported by Chris Coulson.
