When two threads run proc_do_sync_threshold() in parallel,
data races could happen between the two memcpy():
Thread-1 Thread-2
memcpy(val, valp, sizeof(val));
memcpy(valp, val, sizeof(val));
This race might mess up the (struct ctl_table *) table->data,
so we add a mutex lock to serialize them.

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 Restructured Text 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.
