Subject: [patch V6 07/37] x86/entry: Provide helpers for execute on irqstack


Device interrupt handlers and system vector handlers are executed on the
interrupt stack. The stack switch happens in the low level assembly entry
code. This conflicts with the efforts to consolidate the exit code in C to
ensure correctness vs. RCU and tracing.

As there is no way to move #DB away from IST due to the MOV SS issue, the
requirements vs. #DB and NMI for switching to the interrupt stack do not
exist anymore. The only requirement is that interrupts are disabled.

That allows to move the stack switching to C code which simplifies the
entry/exit handling further because it allows to switch stacks after
handling the entry and on exit before handling RCU, return to usermode and
kernel preemption in the same way as for regular exceptions.

The initial attempt of having the stack switching in inline ASM caused too
much headache vs. objtool and the unwinder. After analysing the use cases
it was agreed on that having the stack switch in ASM for the price of an
indirect call is acceptable as the main users are indirect call heavy
anyway and the few system vectors which are empty shells (scheduler IPI and
KVM posted interrupt vectors) can run from the regular stack.

Provide helper functions to check whether the interrupt stack is already
active and whether stack switching is required.

64 bit only for now. 32 bit has a variant of that already. Once this is
cleaned up the two implementations might be consolidated as a cleanup on
top.
