tick_do_timer_cpu is used lockless to check which CPU needs to take care of the per tick timekeeping duty. This is done to avoid a thundering herd problem on jiffies_lock. The read and writes are not annotated so KCSAN complains about data races: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick / tick_nohz_next_event write to 0xffffffff8a2bda30 of 4 bytes by task 0 on cpu 26: tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick+0x3b1/0x4a0 do_idle+0x1e3/0x250 read to 0xffffffff8a2bda30 of 4 bytes by task 0 on cpu 16: tick_nohz_next_event+0xe7/0x1e0 tick_nohz_get_sleep_length+0xa7/0xe0 menu_select+0x82/0xb90 cpuidle_select+0x44/0x60 do_idle+0x1c2/0x250 value changed: 0x0000001a -> 0xffffffff Annotate them with READ/WRITE_ONCE() to document the intentional data race.

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.
