It turns out that gcc has real trouble merging all the temporary
on-stack buffer allocation. So despite the fact that their lifetimes do
not overlap, gcc will allocate stack for all of them when they have
different types. Which they do in the number scanning test routines.
This is unfortunate in general, but with lots of test-cases in one
function, it becomes a real problem. gcc will allocate a huge stack
frame for no actual good reason.
We have tried to counteract this tendency of gcc not merging stack slots
(see "-fconserve-stack"), but that has limited effect (and should be on
by default these days, iirc).
So with all the debug options enabled on an i386 allmodconfig build, we
end up with overly big stack frames, and the resulting stack frame size
warnings (now errors):
lib/test_scanf.c: In function ‘numbers_list_field_width_val_width’:
lib/test_scanf.c:530:1: error: the frame size of 2088 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
530 | }
| ^
lib/test_scanf.c: In function ‘numbers_list_field_width_typemax’:
lib/test_scanf.c:488:1: error: the frame size of 2568 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
488 | }
| ^
lib/test_scanf.c: In function ‘numbers_list’:
lib/test_scanf.c:437:1: error: the frame size of 2088 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
437 | }
| ^
In this particular case, the reasonably straightforward solution is to
just split out the test routines into multiple more targeted versions.
That way we don't have one huge stack, but several smaller ones, and
they aren't active all at the same time.

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.
