CVE-2026-74468
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: pch: use raw_spinlock_t for the register lock
pch_irq_type() is registered as the irq_chip .irq_set_type callback and takes chip->spinlock with spin_lock_irqsave(). This callback is reached from __setup_irq() -> __irq_set_trigger() -> chip->irq_set_type() while the caller holds desc->lock, a raw_spinlock_t, with hardirqs disabled. That context is not sleepable, but on PREEMPT_RT a regular spinlock_t is an rtmutex-backed sleeping lock, so acquiring it there is invalid.
This was confirmed on a PREEMPT_RT kernel with lockdep (PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP).
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
A grounded PoC mirrored pch_irq_type()'s locking and drove it through the real genirq carrier irq_set_irq_type() -> __irq_set_trigger() -> chip->irq_set_type(), i.e. the same __irq_set_trigger() edge that __setup_irq() takes for a requested IRQ. With the original spin_lock_irqsave() edge lockdep reported an invalid wait context, immediately followed by:
Switching the mirrored lock to raw_spinlock_t made both splats go away.
Convert the register lock to raw_spinlock_t. The same lock also serializes the GPIO direction/value callbacks and the suspend/resume register save/restore, but all of those critical sections only perform MMIO register accesses (ioread32()/iowrite32()) and irq_set_handler_locked(); none of them contain sleepable operations. Keeping this register lock non-sleeping is therefore appropriate for the irqchip callbacks and does not change the GPIO-side locking contract.
This is the same class of issue and fix as recently addressed for other GPIO controllers, e.g. commit 286533cb14a3 ("gpio: sch: use raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path") and commit 90f0109019e6 ("gpio: eic-sprd: use raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path").
