Phew.  I just managed to recommission my 3A4000 and I can reproduce the
issue as well with Linux 5.18.1 (the latest kernel release when I
decommissioned it) and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

% cat measure.c
#include <fenv.h>
int main() { return fetestexcept(FE_INEXACT); }

% echo $((1./3))
0.33333333333333331

% while ./a.out; do ; done
(stopped in seconds)

I'm building the mainline kernel on the 3A4000 now, will see if the
issue still exists...
