The individual bitfields of struct tick_sched must be modified from IRQs disabled places, otherwise local modifications can race due to them sharing the same memory storage. The recent move of the "got_idle_tick" bitfield to its own storage shows that the use of these bitfields, as pretty as they look, can be as much error prone. In order to avoid future issues of the like and make sure that those bitfields are safely accessed, move those flags to an explicit mask along with a mutator function performing the basic IRQs disabled sanity check.

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.
