Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y can trigger a BUG with the new IRQ
stack code:
BUG: spinlock lockup suspected on CPU#1
This is due to the IRQ_STACK_TO_TASK_STACK macro incorrectly retrieving
the task stack pointer stashed at the top of the IRQ stack.
Sayeth James:
| Yup, this is what is happening. Its an off-by-one due to broken
| thinking about how the stack works. My broken thinking was:
|
| > top ------------
| > | dummy_lr | <- irq_stack_ptr
| > ------------
| > | x29 |
| > ------------
| > | x19 | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x10
| > ------------
| > | xzr |
| > ------------
|
| But the stack-pointer is decreased before use. So it actually looks
| like this:
|
| > ------------
| > | | <- irq_stack_ptr
| > top ------------
| > | dummy_lr |
| > ------------
| > | x29 | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x10
| > ------------
| > | x19 |
| > ------------
| > | xzr | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x20
| > ------------
|
| The value being used as the original stack is x29, which in all the
| tests is sp but without the current frames data, hence there are no
| missing frames in the output.
|
| Jungseok Lee picked it up with a 32bit user space because aarch32
| can't use x29, so it remains 0 forever. The fix he posted is correct.
This patch fixes the macro and adds some of this wisdom to a comment,
so that the layout of the IRQ stack is well understood.
