[PATCH 3/3] arm64: use -mno-implicit-float instead of -mgeneral-regs-only

From: samitolvanen@google.com (Sami Tolvanen)
Date: 2017-11-29 00:00:44
Also in: linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: Greg Hackmann <redacted>

LLVM bug 30792 causes clang's AArch64 backend to crash compiling
arch/arm64/crypto/aes-ce-cipher.c.  Replacing -mgeneral-regs-only with
-mno-implicit-float is the suggested workaround.

Signed-off-by: Greg Hackmann <redacted>
Cc: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org>
[added clang-ifversion to enable the workaround only for clang <6.0]
