Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Prevent deadlock on ssb_state::lock
Mikhail reported a lockdep splat related to the AMD specific ssb_state
lock:
CPU0 CPU1
lock(&st->lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);
lock(&st->lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
The connection between sighand->siglock and st->lock comes through seccomp,
which takes st->lock while holding sighand->siglock.
Make sure interrupts are disabled when __speculation_ctrl_update() is
invoked via prctl() -> speculation_ctrl_update(). Add a lockdep assert to
catch future offenders.
Fixes: 1f50ddb4f418 ("x86/speculation: Handle HT correctly on AMD")
