This is somewhat expected and should hopefully be fixed soon.


More detail:
Unless optimized away by the compiler, each KUNIT_EXPECT_* use will
add a struct to the stack.
I have a number of pending patches that will decrease that stack usage.
On UML (x86_64), they cut it down from 88 bytes => 32 bytes per
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ/GT/etc.

Shuah sent a PR to Linus which contains these patches,
https://lore.kernel.org/all/d138a93a-997f-bfb6-6119-83aa2c00a49d@linuxfoundation.org/
Once those are in, hopefully all these warnings go away as we're not
over the 2048 limit by that much.
