CVE-2025-21767

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

clocksource: Use migrate_disable() to avoid calling get_random_u32() in atomic context

The following bug report happened with a PREEMPT_RT kernel:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 2012, name: kwatchdog
  preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
  RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0
  get_random_u32+0x4f/0x110
  clocksource_verify_choose_cpus+0xab/0x1a0
  clocksource_verify_percpu.part.0+0x6b/0x330
  clocksource_watchdog_kthread+0x193/0x1a0

It is due to the fact that clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() is invoked with
preemption disabled.  This function invokes get_random_u32() to obtain
random numbers for choosing CPUs.  The batched_entropy_32 local lock and/or
the base_crng.lock spinlock in driver/char/random.c will be acquired during
the call. In PREEMPT_RT kernel, they are both sleeping locks and so cannot
be acquired in atomic context.

Fix this problem by using migrate_disable() to allow smp_processor_id() to
be reliably used without introducing atomic context. preempt_disable() is
then called after clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() but before the
clocksource measurement is being run to avoid introducing unexpected
latency.
