tick/broadcast: Serialize access to tick_next_period
tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() accesses tick_next_period twice without any serialization. This is wrong in two aspects: - Reading it twice might make the broadcast data inconsistent if the variable is updated concurrently. - On 32bit systems the access might see an partial update Protect it with jiffies_lock. That's safe as none of the callchains leading up to this function can create a lock ordering violation: timer interrupt run_local_timers() hrtimer_run_queues() hrtimer_switch_to_hres() tick_init_highres() tick_switch_to_oneshot() tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() or tick_check_oneshot_change() tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() tick_switch_to_oneshot() tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201117132006.061341507@linutronix.de
