[PATCH v2 03/11] tty: kbd: reduce stack size with KASAN

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2017-06-14 21:19:31
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

As reported by kernelci, some functions in the VT code use significant
amounts of kernel stack when local variables get inlined into the caller
multiple times:

drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c: In function 'kbd_keycode':
drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:1452:1: error: the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Annotating those functions as noinline_if_stackbloat prevents the inlining
and reduces the overall stack usage in this driver.
