above what's used for fast interrupts, only interrupts with the level of
the interrupt which led to calling intr_fast() (which is used with both
fast and ithread interrupts) are blocked while in that function. Thus
intr_fast() can be preempted by a fast interrupt (which are of a higher
level than ithread interrupts) while servicing an ithread interrupt. This
can lead to a stale pointer to the head of the active interrupt requests
list when back in the ithread interrupt invocation of intr_fast(), in turn
resulting in corruption of the interrupt request lists and consequently
in a panic. Solve this be turning off interrupts in intr_fast() before
reading the pointer to the head of the active list rather than after. [1]
- Add a KASSERT in intr_fast() which asserts that ir_func is non-zero before
calling it. [1]
- Increment interrupt stats after calling the handlers rather than before.
This reduces the delay until direct and fast handlers are serviced, in my
testings by 30% on average for the direct tick interrupt handler, in turn
resulting in less clock drift.
