[PATCH v1 1/2] arm64: run softirqs on the per-CPU IRQ stack

From: Qi Zheng
Date: Fri Jul 08 2022 - 05:50:26 EST


Currently arm64 supports per-CPU IRQ stack, but softirqs
are still handled in the task context.

Since any call to local_bh_enable() at any level in the task's
call stack may trigger a softirq processing run, which could
potentially cause a task stack overflow if the combined stack
footprints exceed the stack's size, let's run these softirqs
on the IRQ stack as well.
