Commit 316580b69d ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
fixed possible load/store tearing on 64bit arches.
For instance the following C code
stats->nsecs += sched_clock() - start;
Could be rightfully implemented like this by a compiler,
confusing concurrent readers a lot:
stats->nsecs += sched_clock();
// arbitrary delay
stats->nsecs -= start;

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.
