Alexander Sverdlin 8d47a03544 counter: interrupt-cnt: Protect enable/disable OPs with mutex 
[ Upstream commit 7351312632 ]

Enable/disable seems to be racy on SMP, consider the following scenario:

CPU0					CPU1

interrupt_cnt_enable_write(true)
{
	if (priv->enabled == enable)
		return 0;

	if (enable) {
		priv->enabled = true;
					interrupt_cnt_enable_write(false)
					{
						if (priv->enabled == enable)
							return 0;

						if (enable) {
							priv->enabled = true;
							enable_irq(priv->irq);
						} else {
							disable_irq(priv->irq)
							priv->enabled = false;
						}
		enable_irq(priv->irq);
	} else {
		disable_irq(priv->irq);
		priv->enabled = false;
	}

The above would result in priv->enabled == false, but IRQ left enabled.
Protect both write (above race) and read (to propagate the value on SMP)
callbacks with a mutex.

README 

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.
