Description
This is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ARM Generic Interrupt Controller version 3 (GICv3) implementation, specifically within the irqchip/gic-v3 driver. The issue stems from incorrect polling of the RWP (Register Write Pending) bit in the GICR_CTLR register of the redistributor. The code mistakenly checks the distributor's bit index instead of the redistributor's, leading to improper synchronization.
