Ok,

With it applied, my .config gives ~1000 stacktool warnings.

One of the issues that bugs me recently is adding tool-specific markers
to unrelated code and new tools tend to love doing that. But this makes
unrelated code ugly and people touching it shouldn't have to know about
those tools.

I guess you could improve the analysis of vmlinux as stacktool is
running post-compile and thus put the onus on the tool to do the right
thing and not on the code.

But that's for the TODO.

Thanks.
