commit 51696f39cb upstream.
LLVM does not emit optimal byteswap assembly, which results in high
stack usage in kvmhv_enter_nested_guest() due to the inlining of
byteswap_pt_regs(). With LLVM 12.0.0:
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_nested.c:289:6: error: stack frame size of
2512 bytes in function 'kvmhv_enter_nested_guest' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
long kvmhv_enter_nested_guest(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
^
1 error generated.
While this gets fixed in LLVM, mark byteswap_pt_regs() as
noinline_for_stack so that it does not get inlined and break the build
due to -Werror by default in arch/powerpc/. Not inlining saves
approximately 800 bytes with LLVM 12.0.0:
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_nested.c:290:6: warning: stack frame size of
1728 bytes in function 'kvmhv_enter_nested_guest' [-Wframe-larger-than=]
long kvmhv_enter_nested_guest(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
^

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.
