When local_irq_enable() finds a pending soft-masked interrupt, it "replays" it by setting up registers like the initial interrupt entry, then calls into the low level handler to set up an interrupt stack frame and process the interrupt. This is not necessary, and uses more stack than needed. The high level interrupt handler can be called directly from C, with just pt_regs set up on stack. This should be faster and use less stack.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
