Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
um: work around sched_yield not yielding in time-travel mode<br />
<br />
sched_yield by a userspace may not actually cause scheduling in<br />
time-travel mode as no time has passed. In the case seen it appears to<br />
be a badly implemented userspace spinlock in ASAN. Unfortunately, with<br />
time-travel it causes an extreme slowdown or even deadlock depending on<br />
the kernel configuration (CONFIG_UML_MAX_USERSPACE_ITERATIONS).<br />
<br />
Work around it by accounting time to the process whenever it executes a<br />
sched_yield syscall.
