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

    arm64: efi: Make efi_rt_lock a raw_spinlock

    Running a rt-kernel base on 6.2.0-rc3-rt1 on an Ampere Altra outputs
    the following:

      Workqueue: efi_rts_wq efi_call_rts
      Call trace:
      dump_backtrace (arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:158)
      show_stack (arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:165)

      [...]

    This seems to come from commit ff7a167961d1 (arm64: efi: Execute
    runtime services from a dedicated stack) which adds a spinlock. This
    spinlock is taken through:
    efi_call_rts()
    \-efi_call_virt()
      \-efi_call_virt_pointer()
        \-arch_efi_call_virt_setup()

    Make 'efi_rt_lock' a raw_spinlock to avoid being preempted.

    [ardb: The EFI runtime services are called with a different set of
           translation tables, and are permitted to use the SIMD registers.
           The context switch code preserves/restores neither, and so EFI
           calls must be made with preemption disabled, rather than only
           disabling migration.]

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
