From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

We can identify the broadcast device in the core and serialize all
callers including interrupts on a different CPU against the update.
Also, disabling interrupts is moved into the core allowing callers to
leave interrutps enabled when calling clockevents_update_freq().

./arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c should be modified to call 
__clockevents_update_freq instead of clockevents_update_freq, no ?

IIUC, the __-version is only for timer core internal usage and not an
exported interface. Doesn't the non-__ version work for the twd?
I don't see issues on my Zynq platform with these patches.

Another side note regarding the twd: Shouldn't we set the
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_PERCPU flag we introduced recently for that timer?

I don't think there is an issue but if we can rid of the extra code 
added in clockevents_update_freq with this patch for twd, it would make 
sense. The __-version means the function is lockless and there is a 
function without '__' in the name with the lock.

Yes.

There will be some fun with the patchset http://lwn.net/Articles/566270/ 
where the local timer could be used as a broadcast timer.
