Subject: [PATCH v3] arm64: Introduce IRQ stack
Currently, kernel context and interrupts are handled using a single
kernel stack navigated by sp_el1. This forces a system to use 16KB
stack, not 8KB one. This restriction makes low memory platforms suffer
from memory pressure accompanied by performance degradation.
This patch addresses the issue as introducing a separate percpu IRQ
stack to handle both hard and soft interrupts with two ground rules:
- Utilize sp_el0 in EL1 context, which is not used currently
- Do not complicate current_thread_info calculation
It is a core concept to directly retrieve struct thread_info from
sp_el0. This approach helps to prevent text section size from being
increased largely as removing masking operation using THREAD_SIZE
in tons of places.
[Thanks to James Morse for his valuable feedbacks which greatly help
to figure out a better implementation. - Jungseok]

Changes since v2:
- Optmised current_thread_info function as removing masking operation
and volatile keyword per James and Catalin
- Reworked irq re-enterance check logic using top-bit comparison of
stacks per James
- Added sp_el0 update in cpu_resume per James
- Selected HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK to expose this feature explicitly
- Added a Tested-by tag from James
- Added comments on sp_el0 as a helper messeage
Changes since v1:
- Rebased on top of v4.3-rc1
- Removed Kconfig about IRQ stack, per James
- Used PERCPU for IRQ stack, per James
- Tried to allocate IRQ stack when CPU is about to start up, per James
- Moved sp_el0 update into kernel_entry macro, per James
- Dropped S_SP removal patch, per Mark and James
