When an stp sync check is handled on a system with multiple cpus each cpu gets a machine check but only the first one actually handles the sync operation. All other CPUs spin waiting for the first one to finish with a short udelay(). But udelay can't be used here as the first CPU modifies tod_clock_base before performing the sync op. During this timeframe get_tod_clock_monotonic() might return a non-monotonic time. The time spent waiting should be very short and udelay is a busy loop anyways, therefore simply remove the udelay.

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 reStructuredText 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.
