I noticed this from our CI too (I don't see the actual error there as
the build just times out before it can get there but I can see it
locally with all the same tools) and it seems like it is caused by
Linus's commit 6f110a5e4f99 ("Disable SLUB_TINY for build testing"),
which causes CONFIG_KASAN to be enabled for all{mod,yes}config again,
which contributes to blowing out the kernel size. I see this with both
GCC and Clang so I guess we will pursue the same solution and just stop
testing allyesconfig (unless we wanted to stop turning on KASAN for
all*config).

Cheers,
