ppc64le fails on RUST_OPT_LEVEL_{0,1}

[ojeda]

Large array has length: 514
Kernel panic - not syncing: corrupted stack end detected inside scheduler
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.12.0-rc3+ #1

Removing the large array does not fix it -- something else is going on.

When this is fixed, switch the CI debug config back to RUST_OPT_LEVEL_0.

This is caused by stack overflow. We have 16K stacks, but there are functions generated with ~20K frames!

The stack trace for that panic is:

Looking up the stack I see this function:

(gdb) up
#18 0xc0000000005c08b8 in _RNvXs3_CsbDqzXfLQacH_12rust_exampleNtB5_11RustExampleNtCsbDqzXfLQacH_6kernel12KernelModule4init () at /home/michael/src/rust/linux/drivers/char/rust_example.rs:192
                          <rust_example::RustExample as kernel::KernelModule>::init
192                 let data = Pin::from(Box::try_new(unsafe { Mutex::new(0) })?);

The disassembly is:

c0000000005c0200 <_RNvXs3_CsbDqzXfLQacH_12rust_exampleNtB5_11RustExampleNtCsbDqzXfLQacH_6kernel12KernelModule4init>:

c0000000005c0210:       d1 af 21 f8     stdu    r1,-20528(r1)

That stdu is creating a 20528 byte stack frame.

Building with -Z emit-stack-sizes I see ~30 Rust functions that have large (> 2KB) frames.

[mpe]

I can fix the CI failure at opt level 0 by increasing the stack size, do we want to do that for now?

See mpe/linux@27a1886

[ojeda]

It would be nice to do it, yeah. We should also add a comment in CONFIG_RUST_OPT_LEVEL_0 and 1 explaining that the stack size might need a substantial increase in some cases.

Also please update Doc/rust/arch-support.rst to remove the restriction! :-)
