[PATCH v2 1/3] x86/entry/64: Refactor IRQ stacks and make them NMI-safe

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Sat Jul 25 2015 - 01:57:24 EST


This will allow IRQ stacks to nest inside NMIs or similar entries
that can happen during IRQ stack setup or teardown.

The Xen code here has a confusing comment.

The new macros won't work correctly if they're invoked with IRQs on.
Add a check under CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY to detect that.

Some of these sanity checks may slow down kernel entries and
exits or otherwise impact performance.
