A CPU that gets stuck with interrupts hard disable can be difficult to debug, as on some platforms we have no way to interrupt the CPU to find out what it's doing. A stop-gap is to have the CPU save it's stack pointer (r1) in its paca when it hard disables interrupts. That way if we can't interrupt it, we can at least trace the stack based on where it last disabled interrupts. In some cases that will be total junk, but the stack trace code should handle that. In the simple case of a CPU that disable interrupts and then gets stuck in a loop, the stack trace should be informative. We could clear the saved stack pointer when we enable interrupts, but that loses information which could be useful if we have nothing else to go on.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
