This consolidated series adds a per-cpu irq_stack, which will eventually allow us to reduce the size of task stacks. Code in entry.S switches to the per-cpu irq_stack when irq_count is zero. This counter is updated in do_softirq_own_stack(), which is called before __do_softirq() re-enables interrupts, which could cause recursive use of the irq stack. sp_el0 is used as a scratch register to store struct thread_info during el1 execution, this means code to find it by masking the stack pointer no longer needs to be inlined. This also lets us remove the alignment requirements for the irq stack, (task stacks still need to be naturally aligned). Patch 2 is a combination of Akashi Takahiro's 'arm64: unwind_frame for interrupt stack' and 'arm64: fix dump_backtrace() to show correct pt_regs at interrupt', both of which need to be present before irq_stack is enabled in Patch 3. Patch 4 is new, following Catalin's comments, but I don't think it is necessary unless we also decrease the stack size, which I don't think we should do immediatly - it would be good to collect some max_stack_size values for various workloads first. This series is based on the v4.4-rc3 The series can be pulled from git://linux-arm.org/linux-jm.git -b irq_stack/v8 Comments welcome, James Changes since v7 [0]: * Removed independent irq_stack_ptr and irq_count values. The lowest irq_stack value is used as irq_count, irq_stack_entry adds IRQ_STACK_START_SP to this when switching stack. * Moved irq_stack definition from patch 1 to patch 2. * Added patch 4 Changes since v6 [1]: * Add irq_count and do_softirq_own_stack(). * Removed requirement that the irq_stack is naturally aligned. * Made irq_stack per_cpu regardless of page size.
