This can be reproduced by run kvm-unit-tests/hyperv_stimer.flat w/ CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled. Safe access to per-CPU data requires a couple of constraints, though: the thread working with the data cannot be preempted and it cannot be migrated while it manipulates per-CPU variables. If the thread is preempted, the thread that replaces it could try to work with the same variables; migration to another CPU could also cause confusion. However there is no preemption disable when reads host per-CPU tsc rate to calculate the current kvmclock timestamp. This patch fix it by holding pvclock_gtod_sync_lock lock when calculates pvclock's time scale in order to disable preemption for host per-CPU tsc rate read.
