DA monitor can be accessed from multiple cores simultaneously, this is likely, for instance when dealing with per-task monitors reacting on events that do not always occur on the CPU where the task is running. This can cause race conditions where two events change the next state and we see inconsistent values. E.g.: [62] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_wakeup -> running (final) [63] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_set_state_sleepable -> sleepable [63] error_srs: 27: event sched_switch_suspend not expected in the state running In this case the monitor fails because the event on CPU 62 wins against the one on CPU 63, although the correct state should have been sleepable, since the task get suspended. Detect if the current state was modified by using try_cmpxchg while storing the next value. If it was, try again reading the current state. After a maximum number of failed retries, react by calling a special tracepoint, print on the console and reset the monitor. Remove the functions da_monitor_curr_state() and da_monitor_set_state() as they only hide the underlying implementation in this case. Monitors where this type of condition can occur must be able to account for racing events in any possible order, as we cannot know the winner.

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 reStructuredText 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.
