Descriptions

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. [ 0.001127] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...

using timer_irq_installed variable as check condition to only call
get_timer_irq() once in constant_clockevent_init() is a simple and
proper way.
