Building a KASAN-enabled kernel with clang ends up in a case where too much is inlined into vivid_thread_vid_cap() and the stack usage grows a lot, possibly when the register allocation fails to produce efficient code and spills a lot of temporaries to the stack. This uses more than twice the amount of stack than the sum of the individual functions when they are not inlined: drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-kthread-cap.c:766:12: error: stack frame size of 2208 bytes in function 'vivid_thread_vid_cap' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=] Marking two of the key functions in here as 'noinline_for_stack' avoids the pathological case in clang without any apparent downside for gcc.

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.
