I initially thought raw_cpu_read() was OK, since if it is !0 we have IRQs disabled and can't get migrated, so if we get migrated both CPUs must have 0 and it doesn't matter which 0 we read. And while that is true; it isn't the whole store, on pretty much all architectures (except x86) this can result in computing the address for one CPU, getting migrated, the old CPU continuing execution with another task (possibly setting recursion) and then the new CPU reading the value of the old CPU, which is no longer 0.

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.
