i386: Execute stack overflow warning on interrupt stack
[Repost. This was posted deep in the 4K flame war some time ago. Probably very few people read it completely, so the patch was missed.]
Previously the reporting printk would run on the process stack, which risks overflow an already low stack. Instead execute it on the interrupt stack. This makes it more likely for the printk to make it actually out.
It adds one not taken test/branch more to the interrupt path when stack overflow checking is enabled. We could avoid that by duplicating more code, but that seemed not worth it.
Based on an observation by Eric Sandeen.
