4.4-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.
