From 22be3b105597002ad3499bdb9c0aba49c9ab05f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2016 11:47:29 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] sparc32: Add -Wa,-Av8 to KBUILD_CFLAGS. Binutils used to be (erroneously) extremely permissive about instruction usage. But that got fixed and if you don't properly tell it to accept classes of instructions it will fail. This uncovered a specs bug on sparc in gcc where it wouldn't pass the proper options to binutils options. Deal with this in the kernel build by adding -Wa,-Av8 to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
