Race condition in Linux kernel AMD display IRQ register updates

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Atomize IRQ register read/modify/write ops [Why] The OTG_GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register controls various HW IRQ sources for the output timing generator (OTG). VUPDATE_NO_LOCK is one of them. To enable the IRQ, driver sets the VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN bit in the GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register. To ack the IRQ after it fires, the driver sets the VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_CLEAR bit in the same GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register. The bit sets are done through read/modify/write operations, which are not atomic. Thus, the following race is possible: Thread A: IRQ handler: *HW IRQ fires* # IRQ disable val = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) unset(val, VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN) write(val, GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) # ACK reads VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN unset val1 = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) set(val1, VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_CLEAR) # IRQ enable val = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) set(val, VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN) write(val, GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) # BAD! clears VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN write(val1, GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) Regarding the tagged Fixes: change, it appears the change made this race more likely to occur. Since VUPDATE_NO_LOCK is now the sole IRQ source for vblank handling, a single race on high refresh panels can lead to a time out. [How] The GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register is only one example, other IRQ control registers also share the same scheme. On top of GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS, let's clean up those as well. To keep things simple, Let's atomize the IRQ rmw ops via a single driver-wide spinlock. Due to the small scope of this lock, it is unlikely to cause noticeable overhead on top of all the existing locking within the IRQ set/handle paths. Since DM is responsible for locking, wrap dc_interrupt_set/ack with the spinlock in the new amdgpu_dm_irq_set/ack functions. Migrate/drop all references in DM to dc_interrupt_set/ack to use amdgpu_dm_irq_set/ack instead. (cherry picked from commit 70de0a0216583a53c946155f8c8adedfdca6b4e7)
