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()

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.
