[PATCH] mtdchar: mark bits of ioctl handler noinline

[PATCH] mtdchar: mark bits of ioctl handler noinline

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The addition of the mtdchar_read_ioctl() function caused the stack usage
of mtdchar_ioctl() to grow beyond the warning limit on 32-bit architectures
with gcc-13:

drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c: In function 'mtdchar_ioctl':
drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c:1229:1: error: the frame size of 1488 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Mark both the read and write portions as noinline_for_stack to ensure
they don't get inlined and use separate stack slots to reduce the
maximum usage, both in the mtdchar_ioctl() and combined with any
of its callees.

Fixes: 095bb6e44eb1 ("mtdchar: add MEMREAD ioctl")

I am about to take this as part of my next fixes PR, should we Cc:
stable? What is the current policy wrt gcc version issues?

I think in general we do want stable kernels to work with the latest
gcc, so please add the Cc:stable annotation.
