Hey, one more thing, we've been seeing some compiler sensitive warnings about
stack frame size in init_tdx_module() in the latest kvm-coco-queue. The struct
tdx_sys_info is the main stack allocated variable in that function.

In this commit (x86/virt/tdx: Read essential global metadata for KVM), struct
tdx_sys_info gets expanded a huge amount:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git/commit/?h=kvm-coco-queue&id=6691a42a26844247526ed08aa21ee748a949c408


And in this later commit(KVM: VMX: Initialize TDX during KVM module load), the
stack allocated variable is moved to a static allocation:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git/commit/?h=kvm-coco-queue&id=34f786697b382750739f8c4e13ebb3da348c307c

So the move of the arch/x86 patches earlier opens up a window where, depending
on compiler optimizations, the stack size may be 3304 and trigger
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN related errors.

The solution could be to move the "arch/x86/virt/vmx/tdx/tdx.c" related changes
in the second patch to a separate patch and put it before the first one, or swap
the order of the two patches. These changes are before the VM/vCPU creation
patches, so I think that would be your area. But let me know if you want to get
a bigger posting back from us to include it all.
