PPC32 implements a specific early stack overflow detection.
This detection is inherited from ppc arch (before the merge of
ppc and ppc64 into powerpc). At that time, there was no irqstacks
and the verification was simply to check that the stack pointer
was still over the stack base. But when irqstacks were implemented,
it was not possible to perform a simple check anymore so a
thread specific value called ksp_limit was introduced in the
task_struct and is updated at every stack switch in order to
keep track of the limit and perform the verification.
ppc64 didn't have this but had a verification during IRQs. This
verification was then extended to PPC32 and can be selected through
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW.
In the meantime, thread_info has moved away from the stack, reducing
the impact of a stack overflow.
In addition, there is CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK which can be used
to check that the magic stored at stack base has not be overwritten.
Remove this PPC32 specific stack overflow mechanism in order to
simplify ongoing work which also aim at reducing even more risks of
stack overflow:
- Switch to irqstack in IRQ exception entry in ASM
- VMAP stack
