#1685157 — [PATCH v3 02/10] x86/entry/64: Initialize the top of the IRQ stack before switching stacks

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

The OOPS unwinder wants the word at the top of the IRQ stack to
point back to the previous stack at all times when the IRQ stack
is in use.  There's currently a one-instruction window in ENTER_IRQ_STACK
during which this isn't the case.  Fix it by writing the old RSP to the
top of the IRQ stack before jumping.

This currently writes the pointer to the stack twice, which is a bit
ugly.  We could get rid of this by replacing irq_stack_ptr with
irq_stack_ptr_minus_eight (better name welcome).  OTOH, there may be
all kinds of odd microarchitectural considerations in play that
affect performance by a few cycles here.
