[PATCH v5 22/32] ARM: implement IRQ stacks

Ard Biesheuvel ardb at kernel.org
Mon Jan 24 09:47:34 PST 2022


Now that we no longer rely on the stack pointer to access the current
task struct or thread info, we can implement support for IRQ stacks
cleanly as well.

Define a per-CPU IRQ stack and switch to this stack when taking an IRQ,
provided that we were not already using that stack in the interrupted
context. This is never the case for IRQs taken from user space, but ones
taken while running in the kernel could fire while one taken from user
space has not completed yet.
