The get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30 macros allocate a stack
frame for external
interrupts and interruptions requiring a stack frame. They are
currently not reentrant in that
they save register context before the stack is set or adjusted.
I have observed a number of system crashes where there was clear
evidence of stack corruption
during interrupt processing, and as a result register corruption.
Some interruptions can still occur
during interruption processing, however external interrupts are
disabled and data TLB misses
don't occur for absolute accesses. So, it's not entirely clear what
triggers this issue. Also, if an
interruption occurs when Q=0, it is generally not possible to recover
as the shadowed registers
are not copied.
The attached patch reworks the get_stack_use_cr30 and
get_stack_use_r30 macros to allocate
stack before doing register saves. The new code is a couple of
instructions shorter than the old
implementation. Thus, it's an improvement even if it doesn't fully
resolve the stack corruption
issue. Based on limited testing, it improves SMP system stability.
