The OOPS unwinder wants the word at the top of the IRQ stack to point back to the previous stack at all times when the IRQ stack is in use. There's currently a one-instruction window in ENTER_IRQ_STACK during which this isn't the case. Fix it by writing the old RSP to the top of the IRQ stack before jumping. This currently writes the pointer to the stack twice, which is a bit ugly. We could get rid of this by replacing irq_stack_ptr with irq_stack_ptr_minus_eight (better name welcome). OTOH, there may be all kinds of odd microarchitectural considerations in play that affect performance by a few cycles here.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
