[PATCH] riscv: add irq stack support

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Sun Feb 06 2022 - 12:43:45 EST


Currently, IRQs are still handled on the kernel stack of the current
task on riscv platforms. If the task has a deep call stack at the time
of interrupt, and handling the interrupt also requires a deep stack,
it's possible to see stack overflow.

Before this patch, the stack_max_size of a v5.17-rc1 kernel running on
a lichee RV board gave:
~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_max_size
3736

After this patch,
~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_max_size
3176

We reduce the max kernel stack usage by 560 bytes!

>From another side, after this patch, it's possible to reduce the
THREAD_SIZE to 8KB for RV64 platforms. This is especially useful for
those systems with small memory size, e.g the Allwinner D1S platform
which is RV64 but only has 64MB DDR.
