Subject: MIPS: Fix minimum alignment requirement of IRQ stack
From: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5fdc66e046206306bf61ff2d626bfa52ca087f7b upstream.
Commit db8466c581cc ("MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task
stack") erroneously set the initial stack pointer of the IRQ stack to a
value with a 4 byte alignment. The MIPS32 ABI requires that the minimum
stack alignment is 8 byte, and the MIPS64 ABIs(n32/n64) require 16 byte
minimum alignment. Fix IRQ_STACK_START such that it leaves space for the
dummy stack frame (containing interrupted task kernel stack pointer)
while also meeting minimum alignment requirements.
Fixes: db8466c581cc ("MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task stack")
