The per CPU "disabled" counter is used for the latency tracers and stack tracers to make sure that their accounting isn't messed up by an NMI or interrupt coming in and affecting the same CPU data. But the counter is an atomic_t type. As it only needs to synchronize against the current CPU, switch it over to local_t type.

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 reStructuredText 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.
