regression: worker-thread stack overflow while building stage1 rustc on sparcv9-sun-solaris

[psumbera]

I am seeing a regression when building Rust on sparcv9-sun-solaris.

Environment

• host: sparcv9-sun-solaris
• OS: Solaris 11.4 on sun4v
• build type: normal dist/nightly build

Bisection
git bisect points to this as the first bad commit: 3f34c31

  add variant `ExpectedNameValueAsLastArgument` to `AttributeParseErrorReason`

  compiler/rustc_attr_parsing/src/context.rs
  compiler/rustc_attr_parsing/src/session_diagnostics.rs

Failure
The build fails while compiling rustc_attr_parsing:

thread 'lto cgu.04' (26) has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow, aborting
rustc exited with signal: 6 (SIGABRT) (core dumped)
error: could not compile `rustc_attr_parsing` (lib)

Notes

• Changing ulimit -s did not help.
• The overflow is in a Rust-created worker thread, not the shell/main thread.
• From source inspection, rustc worker threads use the internal default stack size unless overridden via RUST_MIN_STACK.

Workaround
Setting:

RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216

makes the same build pass on this machine.

So the current picture is:

• default worker-thread stack (8 MiB) fails on this target/build
• 16 MiB is sufficient in my testing

Maybe a missing ensure_sufficient_stack somewhere?
