However, as the callers all seem to have a fairly well bounded call chain, the easiest change is to pull out the part of the function that needs the large variables into a separate function and mark that as noinline_for_stack. This does not reduce the total stack usage, but it gets rid of the warning and requires minimal changes otherwise.
