Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: kexec: Avoid deadlock in kexec crash path If the kexec crash code is called in the interrupt context, the machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() function will trigger a deadlock while trying to acquire the irqdesc spinlock and then deactivate irqchip in irq_set_irqchip_state() function. Unlike arm64, riscv only requires irq_eoi handler to complete EOI and keeping irq_set_irqchip_state() will only leave this possible deadlock without any use. So we simply remove it.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.15.82 < 5.15.163) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.0.12 < 6.1.98) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.39) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.9.9)
