Currently the 'stackleak_cleanup' pass deleting a CALL insn is executed after the 'reload' pass. That allows gcc to do some weird optimization in function prologues and epilogues, which are generated later [1]. Let's avoid that by registering the 'stackleak_cleanup' pass before the '*free_cfg' pass. It's the moment when the stack frame size is already final, function prologues and epilogues are generated, and the machine-dependent code transformations are not done.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
