The patch titled
Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
disable-wframe-larger-than-warnings-with-kasan=y.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y
When the kernel compiled with KASAN=y, GCC adds redzones for each variable
on stack. This enlarges function's stack frame and causes:
'warning: the frame size of X bytes is larger than Y bytes'
The worst case I've seen for now is following:
../net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function `nl80211_send_wiphy':
../net/wireless/nl80211.c:1731:1: warning: the frame size of 5448 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
}
That kind of warning becomes useless with KASAN=y. It doesn't necessarily
indicate that there is some problem in the code, thus we should turn it
off.
(The KASAN=y stack size in increased from 16k to 32k for this reason)
