[RFC PATCH 16/32] x86/fred: reserve space for the FRED stack frame

From: Xin Li
Date: Tue Dec 20 2022 - 02:03:22 EST


From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

When using FRED, reserve space at the top of the stack frame, just
like i386 does. A future version of FRED might have dynamic frame
sizes, though, in which case it might be necessary to make
TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING a variable instead of a constant.
