Not new with this patch, but do we guarantee padding bytes to be zeros?

How about this instead:

static inline bool
pg_is_all_zeros(const char *p, size_t len)
{
   for (size_t i = 0; i < len; i++)
   {
     if (p[i] != 0)
         return false;
   }
   return true;
}

It seems to me that this way is more optimized.

static inline bool
is_all_zeros(const char *p, size_t len)
{
  for (size_t i = len; i >= 0; i--)
  {
    if (p[i] != 0)
        return false;
  }
  return true;
}

main:
        sub     rsp, 24
        lea     rdx, [rsp + 12]
        lea     rcx, [rsp + 16]
        lea     rdi, [rip + .L.str]
        lea     rsi, [rsp + 8]
        xor     eax, eax
        call    __isoc99_scanf@PLT
        lea     rdi, [rip + .L.str.1]
        xor     esi, esi
        xor     eax, eax
        call    printf@PLT
        xor     eax, eax
        add     rsp, 24
        ret
