CVE-2026-74468

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

gpio: pch: use raw_spinlock_t for the register lock

pch_irq_type() is registered as the irq_chip .irq_set_type callback and
takes chip->spinlock with spin_lock_irqsave().  This callback is reached
from __setup_irq() -> __irq_set_trigger() -> chip->irq_set_type() while
the caller holds desc->lock, a raw_spinlock_t, with hardirqs disabled.
That context is not sleepable, but on PREEMPT_RT a regular spinlock_t is
an rtmutex-backed sleeping lock, so acquiring it there is invalid.

This was confirmed on a PREEMPT_RT kernel with lockdep
(PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP).  A grounded PoC mirrored
pch_irq_type()'s locking and drove it through the real genirq carrier
irq_set_irq_type() -> __irq_set_trigger() -> chip->irq_set_type(), i.e.
the same __irq_set_trigger() edge that __setup_irq() takes for a
requested IRQ.  With the original spin_lock_irqsave() edge lockdep
reported an invalid wait context, immediately followed by:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 95, name: insmod
  hardirqs last disabled at (3784): _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4f/0x60
   rt_spin_lock+0x3a/0x1c0
   repro_irq_set_type+0x64/0xa0 [pch_repro]
   __irq_set_trigger+0x69/0x140
   irq_set_irq_type+0x78/0xd0

Switching the mirrored lock to raw_spinlock_t made both splats go away.

Convert the register lock to raw_spinlock_t.  The same lock also
serializes the GPIO direction/value callbacks and the suspend/resume
register save/restore, but all of those critical sections only perform
MMIO register accesses (ioread32()/iowrite32()) and
irq_set_handler_locked(); none of them contain sleepable operations.
Keeping this register lock non-sleeping is therefore appropriate for the
irqchip callbacks and does not change the GPIO-side locking contract.

This is the same class of issue and fix as recently addressed for other
GPIO controllers, e.g. commit 286533cb14a3 ("gpio: sch: use raw_spinlock_t
in the irq startup path") and commit 90f0109019e6 ("gpio: eic-sprd: use
raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path").
