[Bridge] [PATCH v6a 0/5] timers: Use timer_shutdown*() before freeing timers
del_timer_sync() is often called before the object that owns the timer is
freed. But sometimes there's a race that enables the timer again before it
is
freed and causes a use after free when that timer triggers. This patch set
adds a new "shutdown" timer state, which is set on the new
timer_shutdown()
API. Once a timer is in this state, it can not be re-armed and if it is, it
will warn.
The first three patches change existing timer_shutdown() functions used
locally in ARM and some drivers to better namespace names.
The fourth patch implements the new API.
The fifth patch is now a treewide patch that uses a coccinelle script to
convert the trivial locations where a del_timer*() is called on a timer of an
object that is freed immediately afterward (or at least in the same function).
Changes since v5a: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221106054535.709068702 at
goodmis.org/
- Updated the script to make ptr and slab into expressions instead of
using identifiers (Julia Lawall and Linus Torvalds)

ARM: spear: Do not use timer namespace for timer_shutdown() function
clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Do not use timer namespace for
timer_shutdown() function
clocksource/drivers/sp804: Do not use timer namespace for timer_shutdown()
function
timers: Add timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown() to be called before
freeing timers
treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()
