Yes, pmac32_defconfig

Looking at it more deeply, I see strange things.

What is that frame size ? I thought it was the number of bytes r1 is 
decremented at the begining of the function, but it seems not, at least 
on GCC. It seems GCC substrats 112 bytes while clang doesn't.

I set CONFIG_FRAME_WARN to 8 and with GCC and without KASAN, I get no 
warning, allthough I have:

    0:	94 21 ff f0 	stwu    r1,-16(r1)

With GCC and inline KASAN I get:

So it seems that GCC and CLANG don't warn on the same thing, is that 
expected ? GCC substrats 112 bytes, which is the minimum frame size on a 
ppc64, but here I'm building a ppc32 kernel, min frame size is 16.

And CLANG is still using stack a lot more than GCC.
