Nick Desaulniers Reported:
When building with:
$ make CC=clang arch/x86/ CFLAGS=-Wframe-larger-than=1000
The following warning is observed:
arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:494:13: warning: stack frame size of 1064 bytes in
function 'kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself' [-Wframe-larger-than=]
static void kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself(const struct cpumask *mask, int
vector)
^
Debugging with:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/frame-larger-than
via:
$ python3 frame_larger_than.py arch/x86/kernel/kvm.o \
kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself
points to the stack allocated `struct cpumask newmask` in
`kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself`. The size of a `struct cpumask` is
potentially large, as it's CONFIG_NR_CPUS divided by BITS_PER_LONG for
the target architecture. CONFIG_NR_CPUS for X86_64 can be as high as
8192, making a single instance of a `struct cpumask` 1024 B.
This patch fixes it by pre-allocate 1 cpumask variable per cpu and use it for
both pv tlb and pv ipis..

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.
