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

rseq: Prevent hard lockup on granted time slice extension

__exit_to_user_mode_loop() invokes rseq_grant_timeslice_extension() with
interrupts enabled. If the extension is granted it invokes
hrtimer_rearm_deferred_tif() to ensure that a pending deferred hrtimer
rearm is handled before exiting to user space.

Though this invokes __hrtimer_rearm_deferred() which expects to be invoked
with interrupts disabled as it takes hrtimer_cpu_base::lock with
raw_spin_lock(). That's a livelock waiting to happen and caught by lockdep:

WARNING: ./include/linux/hrtimer_rearm.h:17 at irqentry_exit, CPU#1: slice_test
WARNING: inconsistent lock state
inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} -> {HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage.

Prevent this by disabling interrupts around the invocation of
hrtimer_rearm_deferred_tif() in rseq_grant_timeslice_extension().
