LoongArch: KVM: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context
CVE: CVE-2024-53089
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-664
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2024-11-21T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: KVM: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context

Like commit 2c0d278f3293f ("KVM: LAPIC: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard
interrupt context") and commit 9090825fa9974 ("KVM: arm/arm64: Let the
timer expire in hardirq context on RT"), On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels
unmarked hrtimers are moved into soft interrupt expiry mode by default.
Then the timers are canceled from an preempt-notifier which is invoked
with disabled preemption which is not allowed on PREEMPT_RT.

The timer callback is short so in could be invoked in hard-IRQ context.
So let the timer expire on hard-IRQ context even on -RT.

This fix a "scheduling while atomic" bug for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels:
