[PATCH v5] riscv: add irq stack support

Fri Jul 15 09:47:54 PDT 2022


Currently, IRQs are still handled on the kernel stack of the current
task on riscv platforms. If the task has a deep call stack at the time
of interrupt, and handling the interrupt also requires a deep stack,
it's possible to see stack overflow.

Before this patch, the stack_max_size of a v5.17-rc1 kernel running on
a lichee RV board gave:
~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_max_size
3736

After this patch,
~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_max_size
3176

We reduce the max kernel stack usage by 560 bytes!

since v4:
 - rebase on v5.19-rcN
 - fix build error when randomized task_struct
 - use irq stack allocation method in v2, I.E use vmalloc when VMAP_STACK
   otherwise use __get_free_pages.

since v3:
 - Always use vmalloc to allocate irq stack. Thank Arnd.

since v2:
 - rebase on v5.18-rcN
 - update commit msg, I.E remove the "it's possible to reduce the
THREAD_SIZE to 8KB for RV64 platforms..."

since v1:
 - add __ro_after_init to the irq_stack[] array.
