Series [1/3] media: saa7146: avoid high stack usage with clang | expand

Commit Message

Clang-9 makes some different inlining decisions compared to gcc, which
leads to a warning about a possible stack overflow problem when building
with CONFIG_KASAN, including when setting asan-stack=0, which avoids
most other frame overflow warnings:

drivers/media/platform/vicodec/codec-fwht.c:673:12: error: stack frame size of 2224 bytes in function 'encode_plane'

Manually adding noinline_for_stack annotations in those functions
called by encode_plane() or decode_plane() that require a significant
amount of kernel stack makes this impossible to happen with any
compiler.

What I think is happening here is that llvm fails to combine the
stack allocations for the inlined functions in certain conditions,
while gcc can reuse it here. We had similar issues in gcc
a few years ago, and they got fixed there, but I have not looked
at this one in more detail. My guess is that it's related to
the bug I mentioned in patch 3.
