In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Fix sleeping in invalid context in die()
die() can be called in exception handler, and therefore cannot sleep.
However, die() takes spinlock_t which can sleep with PREEMPT_RT enabled.
That causes the following warning:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 285, name: mutex
preempt_count: 110001, expected: 0
RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 285 Comm: mutex Not tainted 6.12.0-rc7-00022-ge19049cf7d56-dirty #234
Hardware name: riscv-virtio,qemu (DT)

Oops - illegal instruction [#1]
Switch to use raw_spinlock_t, which does not sleep even with PREEMPT_RT
enabled.
