With Clang 14 I get the following errors, but only with KASAN selected.

   CC      arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o
arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.c:95:6: error: stack frame size (1040) exceeds 
limit (1024) in '__xor_altivec_4' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
void __xor_altivec_4(unsigned long bytes,
      ^
arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.c:124:6: error: stack frame size (1312) exceeds 
limit (1024) in '__xor_altivec_5' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
void __xor_altivec_5(unsigned long bytes,
      ^


Is this patch still relevant ?

Or should frame size be relaxed when KASAN is selected ? After all the 
stack size is multiplied by 2 when we have KASAN, so maybe the warning 
limit should be increased as well ?

Thanks
Christophe
