current_stack_pointer() doesn't return the stack pointer, but the
caller's stack frame. See commit bfe9a2cfe91a ("powerpc: Reimplement
__get_SP() as a function not a define") and commit acf620ecf56c
("powerpc: Rename __get_SP() to current_stack_pointer()") for details.

The purpose of check_stack_overflow() is to verify that the stack has
not overflowed.

To really know whether the stack pointer is still within boundaries,
the check must be done directly on the value of r1.

This appears to work but seems to be "unsupported" by GCC, and clang
actually complains about it:

   /linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c:603:12: error: variable 'r1' is 
uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
           long sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
                     ^~

The GCC docs say:

   The only supported use for this feature is to specify registers for
   input and output operands when calling Extended asm (see Extended
   Asm).

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.1.0/gcc/Local-Register-Variables.html#Local-Register-Variables


If I do this it seems to work, but feels a little dicey:

        asm ("" : "=r" (r1));
        sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);


Or we could do add in asm/reg.h what we have in boot/reg.h:

register void *__stack_pointer asm("r1");
#define get_sp()        (__stack_pointer)

And use get_sp()

I'll try it.
