From f1ba9a5b2ab7d3f5a910d93371c4f22b636b7683 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 22:24:26 +0000 Subject: powerpc: Unconditionally enabled irq stacks Irq stacks provide an essential protection from stack overflows through external interrupts, at the cost of two additionals stacks per CPU. Enable them unconditionally to simplify the kernel build and prevent people from accidentally disabling them.
