Summary
bpf: Use raw_spinlock_t in ringbuf
Details

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

bpf: Use rawspinlockt in ringbuf

The function _bpfringbufreserve is invoked from a tracepoint, which disables preemption. Using spinlockt in this context can lead to a "sleep in atomic" warning in the RT variant. This issue is illustrated in the example below:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlockrt.c:48 inatomic(): 1, irqsdisabled(): 0, nonblock: 0, pid: 556208, name: testprogs preemptcount: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 1 INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Switch the spinlock to rawspinlockt to avoid this error.
