Early function calls, such as setup_vm(), relocate_enable_mmu(), soc_early_init() etc, are free to operate on stack. However, PT_SIZE_ON_STACK bytes at the head of the kernel stack are purposedly reserved for the placement of per-task register context pointed by task_pt_regs(p). Those functions may corrupt task_pt_regs if we overlap the $sp with it. In fact, we had accidentally corrupted sstatus.VS in some tests, treating the kernel to save V context before V was actually allocated, resulting in a kernel panic. Thus, we should skip PT_SIZE_ON_STACK for $sp before making C function calls from the top-level assembly.

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.
