Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ARM: 9317/1: kexec: Make smp stop calls asynchronous<br />
<br />
If a panic is triggered by a hrtimer interrupt all online cpus will be<br />
notified and set offline. But as highlighted by commit 19dbdcb8039c<br />
("smp: Warn on function calls from softirq context") this call should<br />
not be made synchronous with disabled interrupts:<br />
<br />
softdog: Initiating panic<br />
Kernel panic - not syncing: Software Watchdog Timer expired<br />
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/smp.c:753 smp_call_function_many_cond<br />
