My qemu mac99 test is passing, but I guess your tests are enabling more
devices or something to trigger that breakage?

I still see it in next.

I don't know what to do about it though. The NTFS folks presumably don't
want to rewrite their code to avoid a warning on powerpc, we have no
real interest in NTFS, and definitely no expertise in the NTFS code. We
don't want to revert the 64K change, and even if we did the warning
would still be there for other 64K page configs.

I guess we need to bump CONFIG_FRAME_WARN a bit when 64K pages is
enabled? But even that is a bit gross because the stack size doesn't
increase based on the page size.

I have a fix queued for that, will hit -next tomorrow.

I'm not sure what qemu_ppc64_book3s_defconfig is, it's not an upstream
defconfig, and I couldn't quite see how it's generated in your scripts.

But if it's a 64-bit config it should be using 2048 bytes, from
lib/Kconfig.debug:

config FRAME_WARN
	int "Warn for stack frames larger than"
	range 0 8192
	default 2048 if GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY
	default 1536 if (!64BIT && (PARISC || XTENSA))
	default 1024 if (!64BIT && !PARISC)
	default 2048 if 64BIT
