+Subject: [PATCH] Fix PR22551 by updating the use of timers for the 4.15
+ kernel.
+
+* runtime/linux/timer_compatibility.h: New file.
+* runtime/time.c: Update timer callback function parameter type. Update
+  timer initialization.
+* runtime/transport/relay_v2.c: Ditto.
+* runtime/transport/transport.c: Ditto.
+* tapset-timers.cxx (timer_derived_probe_group::emit_module_decls):
+  Ditto. Handle old and new timer callback interface.
+* runtime/linux/runtime.h: Include timer_compatibility.h instead of timer.h.
+* tapset/linux/scsi.stp: Ditto.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+Signed-off-by: Victor Kamensky <kamensky@cisco.com>

++ * Starting with the 4.15 kernel, the timer interface
++ * changed. Originally, you'd do something like:
++ *
++ *   static void timer_func(unsigned long val);
++ *
++ *   init_timer(&timer);
++ *   timer.expires = jiffies + STP_RELAY_TIMER_INTERVAL;
++ *   timer.function = timer_func;
++ *   timer.data = 0;
++ *   add_timer(&timer);
++ *
++ * The 'data' parameter would get passed to the callback
++ * function. Starting with 4.15, you'd do something like this:
++ *
++ *   static void timer_func(struct timer_list *val);
++ *
++ *   timer_setup(&timer, timer_func, 0);
++ *   timer.expires = jiffies + STP_RELAY_TIMER_INTERVAL;
++ *   add_timer(&timer);
++ *   
++ * With the new code, the timer that caused the callback gets passed
++ * to the timer callback function. The 'data' field has been removed.
++ *
++ * So, we're going to use the new interface. To hide the differences
++ * between the callback function parameter type, we'll define a new
++ * type, 'stp_timer_callback_parameter_t'.
++ *
++ * If code needs to figure out the difference between the old and new
++ * interface, it should test the TIMER_TRACE_FLAGMASK define (which
++ * only exists in the new interface).
