Subject: [ 19/95] parisc: make interrupt and interruption stack allocation reentrant

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@...l.net>

commit b63a2bbc0b9b106a93e11952ab057e2408f2eb02 upstream.

The get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30 macros allocate a stack
frame for external interrupts and interruptions requiring a stack frame.
They are currently not reentrant in that they save register context
before the stack is set or adjusted.

I have observed a number of system crashes where there was clear
evidence of stack corruption during interrupt processing, and as a
result register corruption. Some interruptions can still occur during
interruption processing, however external interrupts are disabled and
data TLB misses don't occur for absolute accesses. So, it's not entirely
clear what triggers this issue. Also, if an interruption occurs when
Q=0, it is generally not possible to recover as the shadowed registers
are not copied.

The attached patch reworks the get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30
macros to allocate stack before doing register saves. The new code is a
couple of instructions shorter than the old implementation. Thus, it's
an improvement even if it doesn't fully resolve the stack corruption
issue. Based on limited testing, it improves SMP system stability.
