In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: eic-sprd: use raw spinlock t in the irq startup path
sprd eic irq unmask() enables the GPIO IRQ and then updates controller state through sprd eic update(), which takes sprd eic->lock with spin lock irqsave(). The callback can be reached from irq startup() while setting up a requested IRQ. That path is not sleepable, but on PREEMPT RT a regular spinlock t becomes a sleeping lock.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually reviewed against the current tree.
The grounded PoC kept the request threaded irq() -> setup irq() -> irq startup() -> sprd eic irq unmask() -> sprd eic update() carrier and used the original spin lock irqsave(&sprd eic->lock) edge. Lockdep
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context hardirqs last disabled at ... setup irq.constprop.0 ... [vuln msv] sprd rt spin lock irqsave+0x1c/0x30 [vuln msv] sprd eic update.constprop.0+0x48/0x90 [vuln msv] sprd eic irq unmask.constprop.0+0x35/0x50 [vuln msv] setup irq.constprop.0+0xd/0x30 [vuln msv]
Convert the Spreadtrum EIC controller lock to raw spinlock t. The locked section only serializes MMIO register updates and does not contain sleepable operations, so keeping it non-sleeping is appropriate for the irqchip callbacks.
