3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <redacted>

commit 7a0153ee15575a4d07b5da8c96b79e0b0fd41a12 upstream.

By adding following objects:
  bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack.

The reason was that above object are assembler sourced and is missing the
GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker assumes that the final binary
should not be restricted at all and mark the stack as RWX.

Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned object, with all
flags disabled, thus omiting this object from linker stack flags decision.

Problem introduced in:

  $ git describe ea7872b
  v2.6.37-rc2-19-gea7872b
