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 the moving of the stack switching to C code, which simplifies the entry/exit handling further, because it allows the switching of stacks after handling the entry and on exit before handling RCU, returning 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, as 32-bit has a variant of that already. Once this is cleaned up, the two implementations might be consolidated as an additional cleanup on top.
