Subject: [PATCH] arm64: panic if IRQ shadow call stack allocation fails
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:15:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324161545.5441-1-osama.abdelkader@gmail.com> (raw)
scs_alloc() can return NULL when vmalloc fails. init_irq_scs() previously
stored that NULL in per-cpu irq_shadow_call_stack_ptr, which IRQ entry
would then use under CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK. Match other SCS setup paths
(e.g. SDEI) by failing explicitly instead of continuing with a NULL
pointer.
Mark init_irq_scs() __init since it is only called from init_IRQ().
