3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5551a34e5aeab868f8d37f70d8754868921b4ee5 upstream. Always pass in the -mno-sse argument, regardless if -preferred-stack-boundary is supported. We never want to generate SSE instructions in the kernel unless we *really* know what we're doing. According to H. J. Lu, any version of gcc new enough that we support it at all should handle the -mno-sse option, so just add it unconditionally. Reported-by: Kevin B.
