Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 17/21] arm64: entry: Use SPSel to switch to overflow stack
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 19:59:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <80514dc0-857f-4c04-aa30-21ecd35b2a18@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918161407.2300-18-will@kernel.org>
在 2026/9/19 0:14, Will Deacon 写道:
> When detecting a stack overflow on exception entry from EL1, use SPSel
> to switch to the overflow stack without corrupting any GPRs. Not only is
> this simpler than the previous logic, but it also opens the door to
> more complicated overflow checks (for example, based on per-task stack
> sizes or stacks which are not aligned to a specific page order) as well
> as the possibility of returning from a stack fault if we were able to
> resolve it.
