SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/irq: don't use current_stack_pointer() in check_stack_overflow()

This appears to work but seems to be "unsupported" by GCC, and clang
actually complains about it:

/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c:603:12: error: variable 'r1' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
long sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
^~

The GCC docs say:

The only supported use for this feature is to specify registers for
input and output operands when calling Extended asm (see Extended
Asm).

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.1.0/gcc/Local-Register-Variables.html#Local-Register-Variables


If I do this it seems to work, but feels a little dicey:

asm ("" : "=r" (r1));
sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);


Generated code looks OK ish:

clang:

sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
22e0: a0 04 24 78 clrldi r4,r1,50
if (unlikely(sp < 2048)) {
22e4: ff 07 24 28 cmpldi r4,2047
22e8: 58 00 81 40 ble 2340 <do_IRQ+0xe0>


gcc:
if (unlikely(sp < 2048)) {
2eb4: 00 38 28 70 andi. r8,r1,14336
...
2ecc: 24 00 82 40 bne c000000000002ef0 <do_IRQ+0xa0>


cheers
