I have also tried it with the other gcc versions and shown that it
happens with every older compiler as well, but it does not happen
with gcc-10 or gcc-11, which bring the frame size down to 164 or
172 bytes respectively. gcc-10 also fixes similar warnings for
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c, net/sunrpc/stats.c and lib/xxhash.c that
fly under the radar with the default warning level.
My first thought was this was a result of -finline-functions getting
enabled by default in gcc-10, but enabling it on gcc-9 did not
help here. It's likely that the gcc behavior was fixed in the process
of enabling the more aggressive inliner by default though.
A number of improvements were made to the calculation of RTX costs in gcc-10 and gcc-11.
These dramatically affect inlining and the compilation time for xxhash.c on parisc. The problem
is pretty much fixed for the 32-bit target but more work is needed for the 64-bit target.
