I am working on a patch set to reduce the frame allocations some, but it doesn’t
get every function below 1536 on parisc with UBSAN. But, in addition to parisc
needing bigger frame sizes, it seems the gcc-8-hppa-linux-gnu compiler is doing a
horrendously bad job, especially with -fsanitize=shift enabled.

As an example, one of the functions warned ZSTD_fillDoubleHashTable() [0] takes
3252 bytes of stack with -fsanitize=shift enabled (as shown in the first warning on line
47 above). It is a trivial function, and there is no reason it should take any more than
a few bytes of stack allocation. On x86-64 it takes 48 bytes with -fsanitize=shift. On
gcc-10-hppa-linux-gnu this function only takes 380 bytes of stack space with
-fsanitize=shift. So it seems like whatever issue is present in gcc-8 they fixed in gcc-10.

On gcc-10-hppa-linux-gnu, after my patch set, I don’t see any -Wframe-larger-than=1536
errors. So, you could either increase it to 4096 bytes, or switch to gcc-10 for the parisc
test.

I’ll reply in more detail later today when I put up my patch set to reduce the stack usage.

Best,
Nick Terrell
