Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cfi: Fix __cfi_slowpath_diag RCU usage with cpuidle
RCU_NONIDLE usage during __cfi_slowpath_diag can result in an invalid
RCU state in the cpuidle code path:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/rcu/tree.c:613 rcu_eqs_enter+0xe4/0x138
...
Call trace:
rcu_eqs_enter+0xe4/0x138
rcu_idle_enter+0xa8/0x100

__secondary_switched+0x94/0x98
Instead, call rcu_irq_enter/exit to wake up RCU only when needed and
disable interrupts for the entire CFI shadow/module check when we do.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.13 < 5.15.49)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.18.6)
