Technical description

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

idpf: fix read_dev_clk_lock spinlock init in idpf_ptp_init()

In idpf_ptp_init(), read_dev_clk_lock is initialized after

ptp_schedule_worker() had already been called (and after

idpf_ptp_settime64() could reach the lock). The PTP aux worker

fires immediately upon scheduling and can call into

idpf_ptp_read_src_clk_reg_direct(), which takes

spin_lock(&ptp->read_dev_clk_lock) on an uninitialized lock, triggering

the lockdep "non-static key" warning:

[12973.796587] idpf 0000:83:00.0: Device HW Reset initiated

[12974.094507] INFO: trying to register non-static key.
