I'm not sure where this is called from, but if kernel_stack_pointer(regs) could
ever point into an irq_stack you will get the wrong result.

arch/arm64/include/asm/irq.h has 'on_irq_stack(sp, cpu)' which should help,
although you will need to check the bounds of the irq_stack separately.


The horrible details...
From arch/arm64/kernel/irq.c:20
/* irq stack only needs to be 16 byte aligned - not IRQ_STACK_SIZE aligned. */
DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long [IRQ_STACK_SIZE/sizeof(long)], irq_stack)
__aligned(16);
This was because per-cpu variables can be at-most page aligned.
6cdf9c7ca687 ("arm64: Store struct thread_info in sp_el0") changed
current_thread_info() to work on these weirdly aligned irq_stacks.


Thanks,

James
