In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:mm/kmemleak: fix sleeping function called from invalid context at print messageAddress a bug in the kernel that triggers a "sleeping function called from
invalid context" warning when /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak is printed under
specific conditions:CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=ySet SELinux as the LSM for the systemSet kptr_restrict to 1kmemleak buffer contains at least one itemBUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

 el0t_64_sync+0x17c/0x180%pS and %pK, in the same back trace line, are redundant, and %pS can void
%pK service in certain contexts.%pS alone already provides the necessary information, and if it cannot
resolve the symbol, it falls back to printing the raw address voiding
the original intent behind the %pK.Additionally, %pK requires a privilege check CAP_SYSLOG enforced through
the LSM, which can trigger a "sleeping function called from invalid
context" warning under RT_PREEMPT kernels when the check occurs in an
atomic context. This issue may also affect other LSMs.This change avoids the unnecessary privilege check and resolves the
sleeping function warning without any loss of information.
