[PATCH 4.9 33/59] x86/build: Use cc-option to validate stack alignment parameter

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 21 2018 - 14:12:00 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9e8730b178a2472fca3123e909d6e69cc8127778 upstream.

With the following commit:

8f91869766c0 ("x86/build: Fix stack alignment for CLang")

cc-option is only used to determine the name of the stack alignment option
supported by the compiler, but not to verify that the actual parameter
<option>=N is valid in combination with the other CFLAGS.

This causes problems (as reported by the kbuild robot) with older GCC versions
which only support stack alignment on a boundary of 16 bytes or higher.

Also use (__)cc_option to add the stack alignment option to CFLAGS to
make sure only valid options are added.
