The first patch is the patch you proposed to serialize callers of clockevents_update_freq(). I guess you may find some better words to describe your changes. I found it not that easy to find a nice description for somebody else's patch. The second patch is my shot at extending clockevents_update_freq() to also handle timers in periodic mode. In my approach I assume that simply calling the timer's 'set_mode()' API takes care of programming an appropriate interval based on the current timer frequency. If that doesn't work for all timers, I guess it would require a new API call. Or I just missed some other way.
