The hdec interrupt handler is reported to sometimes fire in Linux if KVM leaves it pending after a guest exists. This is harmless, so there is a no-op handler for it. The interrupt handler currently uses the regular kernel stack. Change this to avoid touching the stack entirely. This should be the last place where the regular Linux stack can be accessed with asynchronous interrupts (including PMI) soft-masked. It might be possible to take advantage of this invariant, e.g., to context switch the kernel stack SLB entry without clearing MSR[EE].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
