#47505 should be considered for backport to the 1.17 major release.

This bug is not new and can cause deadlocks on linux/arm (GOARM=6) when profiling is turned on with no workaround. The biggest immediate issue for us is that this will cause new failures on all release builders, if not fixed.

I had to file this manually due to #25574.

Approved as a fix for a serious issue without a workaround. This backport applies to both 1.17 (this issue) and 1.16 (#47675).

[release-branch.go1.17] runtime: drop SIGPROF while in ARM < 7 kernel…
f7b9470 
… helpers

On Linux ARMv6 and below runtime/internal/atomic.Cas calls into a kernel
cas helper at a fixed address. If a SIGPROF arrives while executing the
kernel helper, the sigprof lostAtomic logic will miss that we are
potentially in the spinlock critical section, which could cause
a deadlock when using atomics later in sigprof.

Fixes #47688
