[PATCH] arm64: lse: Pass -fomit-frame-pointer to out-of-line ll/sc atomics

From: Will Deacon <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-13 13:13:07
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

In cases where x30 is used as a temporary in the out-of-line ll/sc atomics
(e.g. atomic_fetch_add), the compiler tends to put out a full stackframe,
which included pointing the x29 at the new frame.

Since these things aren't traceable anyway, we can pass -fomit-frame-pointer
to reduce the work when spilling.
