[for-linus][PATCH 14/15] ring-buffer: Have rb_time_cmpxchg() set the msb counter too

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 23:24:55 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The rb_time_cmpxchg() on 32-bit architectures requires setting three
32-bit words to represent the 64-bit timestamp, with some salt for
synchronization. Those are: msb, top, and bottom

The issue is, the rb_time_cmpxchg() did not properly salt the msb portion,
and the msb that was written was stale.
