This reverts commit 5c38602d83e584047906b41b162ababd4db4106d. Interrupts can't be enabled early because the register saves are done on the thread stack prior to switching to the IRQ stack. This caused stack overflows and the thread stack needed increasing to 32k. Even then, stack overflows still occasionally occurred. Background: Even with a 32 kB thread stack, I have seen instances where the thread stack overflowed on the mx3210 buildd. Detection of stack overflow only occurs when we have an external interrupt. When an external interrupt occurs, we switch to the thread stack if we are not already on a kernel stack. Then, registers and specials are saved to the kernel stack. The bug occurs in intr_return where interrupts are reenabled prior to returning from the interrupt. This was done incase we need to schedule or deliver signals. However, it introduces the possibility that multiple external interrupts may occur on the thread stack and cause a stack overflow. These might not be detected and cause the kernel to misbehave in random ways. This patch changes the code back to only reenable interrupts when we are going to schedule or deliver signals. As a result, we generally return from an interrupt before reenabling interrupts. This minimizes the growth of the thread stack.
