Subject: kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flags
From: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxx>
commit 61754c18752ffb78145671e94f053fb202fff041 upstream.
Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command
line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main
Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler
option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to
fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and
ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild
variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS
and KCFLAGS variables.
