Message-ID<ufxIm-bd-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
With 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 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.

I've added the kbuild-bot Reported-by tag to document (and credit) how this bug 
was found.

Thanks,

x86/build: Use cc-option to validate stack alignment parameter

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.
