commit 2f5fb19341883bb6e37da351bc3700489d8506a7 upstream.
Mikhail reported a lockdep splat related to the AMD specific ssb_state lock:
CPU0 CPU1 lock(&st->lock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock); lock(&st->lock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
The connection between sighand->siglock and st->lock comes through seccomp, which takes st->lock while holding sighand->siglock.
Make sure interrupts are disabled when __speculation_ctrl_update() is invoked via prctl() -> speculation_ctrl_update(). Add a lockdep assert to catch future offenders.
