So, Alexander Gordeev reported that this code was already prior to your
changes potentially broken with respect to missing READ_ONCE() within the
cmpxchg_double() loops.

In order to fix that and have a patch that can be backported I would go
with something like the patch below, which I would also plan to send for
-rc4, unless there are objections.

This can then easily be converted to the new cmpxchg128() later.

Subject: [PATCH] s390/cpum_sf: add READ_ONCE() semantics to compare and swap
loops

The current cmpxchg_double() loops within the perf hw sampling code do not
have READ_ONCE() semantics to read the old value from memory. This allows
the compiler to generate code which reads the "old" value several times
from memory, which again allows for inconsistencies.

For example:

/* Reset trailer (using compare-double-and-swap) */
do {
te_flags = te->flags & ~SDB_TE_BUFFER_FULL_MASK;
te_flags |= SDB_TE_ALERT_REQ_MASK;
} while (!cmpxchg_double(&te->flags, &te->overflow,
te->flags, te->overflow,
te_flags, 0ULL));

The compiler could generate code where te->flags used within the
cmpxchg_double() call may be refetched from memory and which is not
necessarily identical to the previous read version which was used to
generate te_flags. Which in turn means that an incorrect update could
happen.

Fix this by adding READ_ONCE() semantics to all cmpxchg_double()
loops. Given that READ_ONCE() cannot generate code on s390 which atomically
reads 16 bytes, use a private compare-and-swap-double implementation to
achieve that.

Also replace cmpxchg_double() with the private implementation to be able to
re-use the old value within the loops.

As a side effect this converts the whole code to only use bit fields
to read and modify bits within the hws trailer header.
