So, you mean to say, my implementation is good enough to get the
irq_stack usage, from the interrupt handler ?
But my concern is that if I dump it from irq handler, I will get
information only for the current cpu.
How do I store and get the information for all the cpu from the boot time ?
>From where do I call my dump_irq_stack_info() [some where during the
entry/exit part of the irq handler], so that I could dump information
for all the handler at boot time itself ?
Like I would to capture these information:
- What was the name of the handler ?
- Which cpu was executing it ?
- How much irq stack (max value, same like high water mark) were used
at that time ?

Where can I collect these information from the boot time ?
