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

ACPI: CPPC: Make rmw_lock a raw_spin_lock

The following BUG was triggered:

=============================
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]

kworker/1:1/62 is trying to lock:

sugov_update_shared() locks a raw_spinlock while cpc_write() locks a
spinlock.

To have a correct wait-type order, update rmw_lock to a raw spinlock and
ensure that interrupts will be disabled on the CPU holding it.
