I don't think "double" is an accurate description of what is going on,
it's much more complex than this. There are some functions
that completely explode with KASAN_STACK enabled on clang,
and many other functions instances that don't grow much at all.

I've been building randconfig kernels for a long time with KASAN_STACK
enabled on gcc, and the limit increased to 1440 bytes for 32-bit
and not increased beyond the normal 2048 bytes for 64-bit. I have
some patches to address the outliers and should go through and
resend some of those.

With the same limits and patches using clang, and KASAN=y but
KASAN_STACK=n I also get no warnings in randconfig builds,
but KASAN_STACK on clang doesn't really seem to have a good
limit that would make an allmodconfig kernel build with no warnings.

These are the worst offenders I see based on configuration, using
an 32-bit ARM allmodconfig with my fixups:

I would prefer going back to marking KASAN_STACK as broken on clang, it does
not seem like the warnings on the symbol were enough to stop people from
attempting to using it, and the remaining warnings seem fixable with a small
increase of the FRAME_WARN when using KASAN with clang but no KASAN_STACK,
or when using KASAN_STACK with gcc.
