Hi Zijian Zhang, Xiaochun Lu, all,

When compiling on ARM (32bit) with multi_v7_defconfig using clang-18
I see the following warning:

.../sock.c:2808:5: warning: stack frame size (1664) exceeds limit (1024) in '__sock_cmsg_send' [-Wframe-larger-than]
 2808 | int __sock_cmsg_send(struct sock *sk, struct cmsghdr *cmsg,

I expect this is mostly explained by the addition of zc_info_kern above.
