cmos_interrupt() can be called in a non-interrupt context, such as in an ACPI event handler (which runs in an interrupt thread). Therefore, usage of spin_lock(&rtc_lock) is insecure. Use spin_lock_irqsave() / spin_unlock_irqrestore() instead. Before a misguided commit6950d046eb("rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ") the cmos_interrupt() function used spin_lock_irqsave(). That commit changed it to spin_lock() and broke locking, which was partially fixed in commit13be2efc39("rtc: cmos: Disable irq around direct invocation of cmos_interrupt()") That second commit did not take account of the ACPI fixed event handler pathway, however. It introduced local_irq_disable() workarounds in cmos_check_wkalrm(), which can cause problems on PREEMPT_RT kernels and are now unnecessary. Add an explicit comment so that this change will not be reverted by mistake.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
