[PATCH 5.4 093/340] MIPS: properly stop .eh_frame generation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Subsystem: mips, the rest · Maintainers: Thomas Bogendoerfer, Linus Torvalds

[ Upstream commit 894ef530012fb5078466efdfb2c15d8b2f1565cd ]

Commit 866b6a89c6d1 ("MIPS: Add DWARF unwinding to assembly") added
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to KBUILD_CFLAGS to prevent compiler
from emitting .eh_frame symbols.
However, as MIPS heavily uses CFI, that's not enough. Use the
approach taken for x86 (as it also uses CFI) and explicitly put CFI
symbols into the .debug_frame section (except for VDSO).
This allows us to drop .eh_frame from DISCARDS as it's no longer
being generated.
