Hello Kees!

It would appear that one of the macros you've added here is doing Bad
Things^TM to allmodconfig on RISC-V since the 22nd:

../lib/fortify_kunit.c: In function 'alloc_size_kmalloc_const_test':
../lib/fortify_kunit.c:140:1: error: the frame size of 2384 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
140 | } \
| ^
../lib/fortify_kunit.c:209:1: note: in expansion of macro 'DEFINE_ALLOC_SIZE_TEST_PAIR'
209 | DEFINE_ALLOC_SIZE_TEST_PAIR(kmalloc)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=110100
CONFIG_AS_VERSION=23700
CONFIG_LD_VERSION=23700

The report came out of my CI (which I should have passed on sooner) so
I do not have anything other than stderr - I can get you anything else
you'd like/need though if you LMK.

Thanks,
Conor.
