Now that we no longer rely on the stack pointer to access the current task struct or thread info, we can implement support for IRQ stacks cleanly as well. Define a per-CPU IRQ stack and switch to this stack when taking an IRQ, provided that we were not already using that stack in the interrupted context. This is never the case for IRQs taken from user space, but ones taken while running in the kernel could fire while one taken from user space has not completed yet.

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.
