These are the patches we have discussed about here:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221106212427.739928660@goodmis.org/

This is on top of v6.1-rc3. I'll be doing a little more testing, to make sure I
didn't screw anything up, and then I will send out a pull request.

I'm using my personal git repo and not the tracing one, as this has nothing to
do with tracing.

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

A new "shutdown" timer state is being added to the generic timer code. One
of the functions to change the timer into the state is called
"timer_shutdown()". This means that there can not be other functions
called "timer_shutdown()" as the timer code owns the "timer_*" name space.

Rename timer_shutdown() to arch_timer_shutdown() to avoid this conflict.

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

We are hitting a common bug were a timer is being triggered after it is
freed. This causes a corruption in the timer link list and crashes the
kernel. Unfortunately it is not easy to know what timer it was that was
freed. Looking at the code, it appears that there are several cases that
del_timer() is used when del_timer_sync() should have been.

Add a timer_shutdown_sync() that not only does a del_timer_sync() but will mark
the timer as terminated in case it gets rearmed, it will trigger a WARN_ON. The
timer_shutdown_sync() is more likely to be used by developers that are about to
free a timer, then using del_timer_sync() as the latter is not as obvious
to being needed for freeing. Having the word "shutdown" in the name of the
function will hopefully help developers know that that function needs to
be called before freeing.

The added bonus is the marking of the timer as being freed such that it
will trigger a warning if it gets rearmed. At least that way if the system
crashes on a freed timer, at least we may see which timer it was that was
freed.

There's some situations that already know that the timer is shutdown and
does not need to perform the synchronization (or can not due to its
context). For these locations there's timer_shutdown() that only shuts
down the timer (prevents it from being rearmed) but does not add checks if
the timer is currently running.

This code is taken from Thomas Gleixner's "untested" version from my
original patch and modified after testing and with some other comments
from Linus addressed. As well as some extra comments added.

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown". After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed, and will trigger a warning if it is.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed. It also ignores any locations where the
timer->function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(), as
that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following commands:

 $ cat timer.cocci
@@
expression ptr, slab;
identifier timer, rfield;
@@
(
-       del_timer(&ptr->timer);
+       timer_shutdown(&ptr->timer);
|
-       del_timer_sync(&ptr->timer);
+       timer_shutdown_sync(&ptr->timer);
)
  ... when strict
      when != ptr->timer
(
        kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield);
|
        kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr);
|
        kfree(ptr);
)

 $ patch -p1 < /tmp/t.patch

And please follow the guidelines of the tip tree for changelogs and tags.

I'll just grab it from the list and let my scripts run over it.

Duh. This thing is unreviewable.

Can you please split it up into pieces which are digestable?

That's fine as I think this whole approach is wrong to begin with.

We are not doing a tree wide change at rc4 just to scratch an itch which
is there for ages and has been debated for months.

Q: Did you try a merge of the result against -next?
A: Definitely not.

The proper approach is to provide all the infrastructure, i.e. the new
interfaces and merge them during the next merge window. Right before rc1
provide a script or a script converted tree to Linus which switches the
tree over to the new world order.

How long have you been around doing kernel development and how much fuzz
do you make about even trivial changes to ftrace?

Thanks,

        tglx

OK, Yep, I was only working with Linus's tree, not next, something I
overlooked.

Well, actually this was my original plan, but Linus asked for the
treewide script to be done in this -rc release, and that part was only
done on his request.

This is my first "treewide" change I'm doing, so I'm going to make
mistakes. Hence why I started this all off with RFC.

I'll rebase this on next and break this patch up into more comprehensible bits.
