The clockevent has to be reprogrammed if the timer's input
clock frequency changes and the timer is in periodic mode, in order to
maintain the correct timer interval.

Couldn't be racy ?

I guess you're right. What would be the proper way to resolve it? If we
look at a little more code things look like this:

	local_irq_save(flags);                                           
	clockevents_update_freq(&ttcce->ce,                              
	                ndata->new_rate / PRESCALE);                     
	local_irq_restore(flags);                                        
	                                                                 
	/* update cached frequency */                                    
	ttc->freq = ndata->new_rate;                                     
	                                                                 
	if (ttcce->ce.mode == CLOCK_EVT_MODE_PERIODIC)                   
	        ttc_set_interval(ttc, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(ttc->freq,       
	                                PRESCALE * HZ));

Would it be enough to move the ttc_set_interval() call within the
section where local IRQs are disabled? I have the feeling for this timer
the local_irq_save() may in general not be the right option since the
timer is not CPU local.
Should we probably change this do irq_disable(ttcce->ce.irq)?

	Thanks,
	Sören
