[RFC PATCH 0/8] Accelarate IRQ entry

[Christophe Leroy]

The purpose of this series is to accelerate IRQ entry by
avoiding unneccessary trampoline functions like call_do_irq()
and call_do_softirq() and by switching to IRQ stack
immediately in the exception handler.

For now, it is an RFC as it is still a bit messy.

Please provide feedback and I'll improve next year

Christophe Leroy (8):
  powerpc/32: drop ksp_limit based stack overflow detection
  powerpc/irq: inline call_do_irq() and call_do_softirq() on PPC32
  powerpc/irq: don't use current_stack_pointer() in do_IRQ()
  powerpc/irq: move set_irq_regs() closer to irq_enter/exit()
  powerpc/irq: move stack overflow verification
  powerpc/irq: cleanup check_stack_overflow() a bit
  powerpc/32: use IRQ stack immediately on IRQ exception
  powerpc/irq: drop softirq stack
