[Question] arch-independent way to differentiate between user and kernel

Hi all, I'm dealing with a problem where I want to know from __do_IRQ in kernel/irq/handle.c if the interrupt occurred while the process was in user space or kernel space. But the trick here is that it must work on all architectures. Does anyone know of some way that that function can tell if it
