The HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK option tells generic code that irq_exit()
is called while still running on the hard irq stack (hardirq_ctx[] in

Selecting the option means the generic code will *not* switch to the

Commit 6d8278c414cb2 ("powerpc/64s/radix: do not flush TLB on spurious

The nest MMU in POWER9 does not re-fetch the PTE in response to

PTEs, for any address space with a coprocessor attached.
Per (non-public) Nest MMU Workbook,
Per (non-public) Nest MMU Workbook, POWER10 and POWER9P NMMU does not

for NMMU which shouldn't have been required anyway.

Some architectures like powerpc support both endianness, it's
therefore not possible to fix the endianness via arch/endianness.h
because there is no easy way to get the target endianness at
build time.
Use the endianness recorded in the file objtool is working on.
