[RFC PATCH 2/2] kbuild: rust: use klint to provide CONFIG_FRAME_WARN

From: Gary Guo

From: Gary Guo <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>

klint is able to analyze frame size and warn on frames that are too big.

With `register_tool(klint)` support, we can simply instruct rust to turn on
`klint::stack_frame_too_large`. This is a no-op if normal rustc (or Clippy)
is invoked, but will perform the check if klint is used.

This is an example of a bug caught using this option:

warning: stack size of `gsp::cmdq::Cmdq::new` is 8216 bytes, exceeds the 2048-byte limit
--> drivers/gpu/nova-core/gsp/cmdq.rs:453:5
|
453 | pub(crate) fn new(dev: &device::Device<device::Bound>) -> Result<Cmdq> {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: the stack size is inferred from instruction `sub $0x2018,%rsp` at .text+32778
