A race condition exists if the timer triggers during these two writes. The RISC-V Privileged Specification (e.g., Section 3.2.1 for mtimecmp) recommends a specific 3-step sequence to avoid spurious interrupts when updating 64-bit comparison registers on 32-bit systems: 1. Set the low-order bits (stimecmp) to all ones (ULONG_MAX). 2. Set the high-order bits (stimecmph) to the desired value. 3. Set the low-order bits (stimecmp) to the desired value. Current implementation writes the LSB first without ensuring a future value, which may lead to a transient state where the 64-bit comparison is incorrectly evaluated as "expired" by the hardware. This results in spurious timer interrupts. This patch adopts the spec-recommended 3-step sequence to ensure the intermediate 64-bit state is never smaller than the current time.
