Subject[PATCH 3.10 34/52] x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@linux.intel.com>

commit 5551a34e5aeab868f8d37f70d8754868921b4ee5 upstream.

Always pass in the -mno-sse argument, regardless if
-preferred-stack-boundary is supported. We never want to generate SSE
instructions in the kernel unless we *really* know what we're doing.

According to H. J. Lu, any version of gcc new enough that we support
it at all should handle the -mno-sse option, so just add it
unconditionally.
