The select() implementation is carefully tuned to put a sensible amount

When building a 32-bit kernel with clang, we need a little more space
than with gcc, which often triggers a warning:

fs/select.c:619:5: error: stack frame size of 1048 bytes in function 'core_sys_select' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
int core_sys_select(int n, fd_set __user *inp, fd_set __user *outp,

I experimentally found that for 32-bit ARM, reducing the maximum
stack usage by 64 bytes keeps us reliably under the warning limit
again.

Hi Arnd,
Upon a toolchain upgrade for Android, our 32b x86 image used for
first-party developer VMs started tripping -Wframe-larger-than= again
(thanks -Werror) which is blocking our ability to upgrade our toolchain.


I wonder if there is a way to disable the warning or increase the threshold just for this function. I don't think attribute optimize would work, but perhaps some pragma?
