In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Only call get_timer_irq() once in constant_clockevent_init() Under CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, we can see the following messages on LoongArch, this is because using might_sleep() in preemption disable context.
