From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f8cd222feb82ecd82dcf610fcc15186f55f9c2b5 upstream. One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review. iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes). This is not guaranteed in this driver which uses a 32 byte array of smaller elements on the stack. As Lars also noted this anti pattern can involve a leak of data to userspace and that indeed can happen here. We close both issues by moving to a suitable structure in the iio_priv() data with alignment explicitly requested. This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak apart from previous readings. The explicit alignment isn't technically needed here, but it reduced fragility and avoids cut and paste into drivers where it will be needed. If we want this in older stables will need manual backport due to driver reworks.
