    Subject[PATCH 4.9 41/86] iio:magnetometer:ak8974: Fix alignment and data leak issues
    Date
    From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com>

    commit 838e00b13bfd4cac8b24df25bfc58e2eb99bcc70 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 an 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.

    This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak appart from
    previous readings.

    Fixes: 7c94a8b2ee8cf ("iio: magn: add a driver for AK8974")
