Subject: [ 16/95] parisc: implement irq stacks - part 2 (v2)
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:32:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130625182155.487598533@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130625182153.605455184@linuxfoundation.org>

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

commit 416821d3d68164909b2cbcf398e4ba0797f5f8a2 upstream.

This patch fixes few build issues which were introduced with the last
irq stack patch, e.g. the combination of stack overflow check and irq
stack.

Furthermore we now do proper locking and change the irq bh handler
to use the irq stack as well.

In /proc/interrupts one now can monitor how huge the irq stack has grown
and how often it was preferred over the kernel stack.

IRQ stacks are now enabled by default just to make sure that we not
overflow the kernel stack by accident.
