5.5 - CVE-2024-53089

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: KVM: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context

Like commit 2c0d278f3293f ("KVM: LAPIC: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context") and commit 9090825fa9974 ("KVM: arm/arm64: Let the timer expire in hardirq context on RT"), On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels unmarked hrtimers are moved into soft interrupt expiry mode by default. Then the timers are canceled from an preempt-notifier which is invoked with disabled preemption which is not allowed on PREEMPT_RT.

The timer callback is short so in could be invoked in hard-IRQ context. So let the timer expire on hard-IRQ context even on -RT.

This fix a "scheduling while atomic" bug for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels:
