monitoring open AF_CAN sockets from userspace.

[Severity: Medium]
Should CAN_DIAG_J1939_NAME be emitted with nla_put_u64_64bit() instead of
nla_put()?
struct nlmsghdr (16 bytes), struct can_diag_msg (32 bytes), and the optional
CAN_DIAG_UID attribute (8 bytes) leave the attribute stream 8-byte aligned.
Because struct nlattr is 4 bytes, nla_put() places the 8-byte j1939_name
payload at a 4-byte-aligned offset and leaves the finished netlink message
length at a multiple of 4 rather than 8 (after the 8-byte CAN_DIAG_J1939_PGN
and padded 8-byte CAN_DIAG_J1939_ADDR attributes).
When can_diag_dump() packs another socket message into the same skb after a
CAN_J1939 socket, nlmsg_put() aligns only to NLMSG_ALIGNTO (4 bytes), so the
next struct can_diag_msg starts at an unaligned offset and rep->cdiag_ino =
sk_ino performs an unaligned 64-bit write in the kernel and unaligned reads
in userspace. Using nla_put_u64_64bit() with a pad attribute and marking
cdiag_ino as __aligned_u64 in struct can_diag_msg would keep both the
attribute and subsequent messages aligned before the UAPI is frozen.
