Ok, so this looks like a 32-bit warning to me.

Hmm, so, on the one hand we do have:

$ git grep CONFIG_FRAME_WARN arch/x86/
arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig:291:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=2048

which came in with:

5cb04df8d3f0 ("x86: defconfig updates")

and OTOH:

config FRAME_WARN
        int "Warn for stack frames larger than (needs gcc 4.4)"
        range 0 8192
        default 0 if KASAN
        default 1024 if !64BIT
		^^^^

        default 2048 if 64BIT
        help
          Tell gcc to warn at build time for stack frames larger than this.
          Setting this too low will cause a lot of warnings.
          Setting it to 0 disables the warning.
          Requires gcc 4.4

which is still 1024.

tip guys, maybe it is time to update lib/Kconfig.debug too?
