Some randconfig builds run into excessive stack usage with gcc-14 or
higher, which use __attribute__((cold)) where earlier versions did not do
that:
drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c: In function 'blogic_init':
drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:2398:1: error: the frame size of 1680 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
The problem is that a lot of code gets inlined into blogic_init() here. Two
functions stick out, but they are a bit different:
- blogic_init_probeinfo_list() actually uses a few hundred bytes of kernel
stack, which is a problem in combination with other functions that also
do. Marking this one as noinline means that the stack slots get get
reused between function calls
- blogic_reportconfig() has a few large variables, but whenever it is not
inlined into its caller, the compiler is actually smart enough to reuse
stack slots for these automatically, so marking it as noinline saves
most of the stack space by itself.
The combination of both of these should avoid the problem entirely.
