Yes I can easily teach the kbuild robot to ignore this warning when
KASan enabled. Thanks for the explanations!

Would it be possible to auto increase the threshold (in below Kconfig) when
KASan is enabled, so that all other developers/testers won't get the warnings,
too?

lib/Kconfig.debug

config FRAME_WARN
int "Warn for stack frames larger than (needs gcc 4.4)"
range 0 8192
default 1024 if !64BIT
default 2048 if 64BIT

Thanks,
Fengguang
