[PATCH 1/4] irq: Add {over,under}flow detection for local_interrupt_{enable,disable}
From: Boqun Feng
Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 00:17:44 EST
Currently there is no way to detect overflow and underflow inside the
HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK part of preempt_count. Add these detection guarded
by DEBUG_PREEMPT similar to the detection for PREEMPT_MASK
{over,under}flow.
