[PATCH] x86/softirq: Disable softirq stacks on PREEMPT_RT

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri Sep 24 2021 - 12:13:07 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

PREEMPT_RT preempts softirqs and the current implementation avoids
do_softirq_own_stack() and only uses __do_softirq().

Disable the unused softirqs stacks on PREEMPT_RT to safe some memory and
ensure that do_softirq_own_stack() is not used which is not expected.
