  - x86/efi: Fix graceful fault handling after FPU softirq changes Since commit d02198550423 (x86/fpu:
    Improve crypto performance by making kernel-mode FPU reliably usable in softirqs), kernel_fpu_begin()     calls fpregs_lock() which uses local_bh_disable() instead of the previous preempt_disable(). This sets     SOFTIRQ_OFFSET in preempt_count during the entire EFI runtime service call, causing in_interrupt() to     return true in normal task context. The graceful page fault handler efi_crash_gracefully_on_page_fault()     uses in_interrupt() to bail out for faults in real interrupt context. With SOFTIRQ_OFFSET now set, the     handler always bails out, leaving EFI firmware page faults unhandled. This escalates to die() which also     sees in_interrupt() as true and calls panic(Fatal exception in interrupt), resulting in a hard system     freeze. On systems with buggy firmware that triggers page faults during EFI runtime calls (e.g., accessing     unmapped memory in GetTime()), this causes an unrecoverable hang instead of the expected graceful     EFI_ABORTED recovery. Fix by replacing in_interrupt() with !in_task(). This preserves the original intent     of bailing for interrupts or NMI faults, while no longer falsely triggering from the FPU code path's     local_bh_disable(). [ardb: Sashiko spotted that using 'in_hardirq() || in_nmi()' leaves a window where a     softirq may be taken before fpregs_lock() is called, but after efi_rts_work.efi_rts_id has been assigned,     and any page faults occurring in that window will then be misidentified as having been caused by the     firmware. Instead, use !in_task(), which incorporates in_serving_softirq(). ] (CVE-2026-46290)
