Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's clocksource/drivers/sh_tmu component. This issue arises when the sh_tmu driver attempts to manage its power and clock states using specific runtime power management functions while holding raw spinlocks. This creates a conflict with other platform drivers that use regular spinlocks for power and clock control, particularly in real-time (PREEMPT_RT) kernel configurations. This concurrency issue can lead to an 'Invalid wait context' error, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service.
