commit e6a53481da292d970d1edf0d8831121d1c5e2f0d upstream.
The timerlat tracer can use user space threads to check for osnoise and
timer latency. If the program using this is killed via a SIGTERM, the
threads are shutdown one at a time and another tracing instance can start
up resetting the threads before they are fully closed. That causes the
hrtimer assigned to the kthread to be shutdown and freed twice when the
dying thread finally closes the file descriptors, causing a use-after-free
bug.
Only cancel the hrtimer if the associated thread is still around. Also add
the interface_lock around the resetting of the tlat_var->kthread.
Note, this is just a quick fix that can be backported to stable. A real
fix is to have a better synchronization between the shutdown of old
threads and the starting of new ones.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
