Summary
Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cfi: Fix __cfi_slowpath_diag RCU usage with cpuidle RCU_NONIDLE usage during __cfi_slowpath_diag can result in an invalid
RCU state in the cpuidle code path: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/rcu/tree.c:613 rcu_eqs_enter+0xe4/0x138 ...

disable interrupts for the entire CFI shadow/module check when we do.
