From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

LoongArch: Only call get_timer_irq() once in constant_clockevent_init()

Under CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, we can see
the following messages on LoongArch, this is because using might_sleep()
in preemption disable context.

Here are the complete call chains:

smpboot_entry()
  start_secondary()
    constant_clockevent_init()
      get_timer_irq()
        irq_find_matching_fwnode()
          irq_find_matching_fwspec()
            mutex_lock()
              might_sleep()
                __might_sleep()
                  __might_resched()

In order to avoid the above issue, we should break the call chains,
using timer_irq_installed variable as check condition to only call
get_timer_irq() once in constant_clockevent_init() is a simple and
proper way.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-53067 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
