This reverts commit 5c38602d83e584047906b41b162ababd4db4106d.
Interrupts can't be enabled early because the register saves are done on
the thread stack prior to switching to the IRQ stack. This caused stack
overflows and the thread stack needed increasing to 32k. Even then,
stack overflows still occasionally occurred.
Background:
Even with a 32 kB thread stack, I have seen instances where the thread
stack overflowed on the mx3210 buildd. Detection of stack overflow only
occurs when we have an external interrupt. When an external interrupt
occurs, we switch to the thread stack if we are not already on a kernel
stack. Then, registers and specials are saved to the kernel stack.
The bug occurs in intr_return where interrupts are reenabled prior to
returning from the interrupt. This was done incase we need to schedule
or deliver signals. However, it introduces the possibility that
multiple external interrupts may occur on the thread stack and cause a
stack overflow. These might not be detected and cause the kernel to
misbehave in random ways.
This patch changes the code back to only reenable interrupts when we are
going to schedule or deliver signals. As a result, we generally return
from an interrupt before reenabling interrupts. This minimizes the
growth of the thread stack.

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.
