commit 89226a296d816727405d3fea684ef69e7d388bd8 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 16 byte u8 array 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 ensured by use of an explicit c structure. This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak appart from previous readings.
The additional forcing of the 8 byte alignment of the timestamp is not strictly necessary but makes the code less fragile by making this explicit.
