From ca1f4a5ecab084af7f405baa902edbed171b57e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:25:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] s390/time: Use jiffies instead of jiffies_64 Christoph Schlameuss and Alexander Egorenkov reported a data-race reported by KCSAN when jiffies_64 is read: ================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in do_account_vtime / tick_do_update_jiffies64 write to 0x0000016599ea8600 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 6: tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x140/0x250 =============================================================> BUG: KCSAN: data-race in do_account_vtime / tick_do_update_ji> write to 0x0000016599ea8600 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 6: tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x140/0x250 tick_nohz_handler+0x2e6/0x300 __run_hrtimer+0x156/0x4d0 __hrtimer_run_queues+0xd2/0x150 ... system_call+0x72/0x90 read to 0x0000016599ea8600 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 12: do_account_vtime+0x7d6/0x860 vtime_flush+0x26/0xe0 update_process_times+0x32/0x160 tick_nohz_handler+0x12a/0x300 ... system_call+0x72/0x90 value changed: 0x00000000ffffaa6c -> 0x00000000ffffaa6d ... =============================================================> Problem is that jiffies_64 instead of jiffies is used. Both are at the same address, but only jiffies is of volatile type, which prevents this warning. Change the vtime code so jiffies instead of jiffies_64 is used everywhere. This addresses also the inconsistency that both jiffies and jiffies_64 were used in the original patch which introduced this.
