[RFC PATCH 7/8] powerpc/32: use IRQ stack immediately on IRQ exception

Tue Dec 24 02:26:17 AEDT 2019


Exception entries run of kernel thread stack, then do_IRQ()
switches to the IRQ stack.

Instead of doing a first step of the thread stack, increasing the
risk of stack overflow and spending time switch stacks two times when
coming from userspace, set the stack to IRQ stack immediately in the
EXCEPTION entry.

In the same way as ARM64, consider that when the stack pointer is not
within the kernel thread stack, it means it is already on IRQ stack.
