[gregkh]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    iio:adc:ti-adc081c Fix alignment and data leak issues

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio:adc:ti-adc081c Fix alignment and data leak issues

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().

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

The eplicit alignment of ts is necessary to ensure correct padding
on x86_32 where s64 is only aligned to 4 bytes.
