Building a KASAN-enabled kernel with clang ends up in a case where too
much is inlined into vivid_thread_vid_cap() and the stack usage grows
a lot, possibly when the register allocation fails to produce efficient
code and spills a lot of temporaries to the stack. This uses more
than twice the amount of stack than the sum of the individual functions
when they are not inlined:
drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-kthread-cap.c:766:12: error: stack frame size of 2208 bytes in function 'vivid_thread_vid_cap' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
Marking two of the key functions in here as 'noinline_for_stack' avoids
the pathological case in clang without any apparent downside for gcc.

Not sure how much effort we want to put into fixing clang to not
get into this case. I could open an llvm bug report if something
thinks this has a chance of getting fixed there.
