During the rcutorture test on linux-next,
./tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/torture.sh --do-kcsan  --kcsan-kmake-arg "CC=clang-12"
following KCSAN BUG is reported:

> fix above bug by marking access to tick_do_timer_cpu with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE

This has been discussed before with passion:

http://archive.lwn.net:8080/linux-kernel/1C65422C-FFA4-4651-893B-300FAF9C49DE@lca.pw/T/

To me data_race() would be more appropriate but that would need a changelog with
proper analysis of the tick_do_timer_cpu state machine.

One more thing on my TODO list, but feel free to beat me at it :-)

Thanks.

Thank you for your guidance, yes, the discussion is very passionate
;-) and I learned a lot from the above thread ;-)

I Agree, and also I learned to do more rigorous technology research.

Please also an analysis of why the compiler cannot do any destructive
optimizations in this case.  Maybe also comments.

I know that feeling!  ;-)

I want to try the analysis above, as a newbie I have taught myself
LLVM for 3 years in my spare time ;-)

Proper analysis and comments in the code are required independent of
READ/WRITE_ONCE() or data_race().
