The bad stack test in interrupt handlers has a few problems. For performance it is taken in the common case, which is a fetch bubble and a waste of i-cache. For code development and maintainence, it requires yet another stack frame setup routine, and that constrains all exception handlers to follow the same register save pattern which inhibits future optimisation. Remove the test/branch and replace it with a trap. Teach the program check handler to use the emergency stack for this case. This does not result in quite so nice a message, however the SRR0 and SRR1 of the crashed interrupt can be seen in r11 and r12, as is the original r1 (adjusted by INT_FRAME_SIZE). These are the most important parts to debugging the issue. The original r9-12 and cr0 is lost, which is the main downside. kernel BUG at linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:847!

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
