Subject[PATCH 4.9 31/34] kbuild: add -fcf-protection=none when using retpoline flags
Date
From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com>

[ Upstream commit 29be86d7f9cb18df4123f309ac7857570513e8bc ]

The gcc -fcf-protection=branch option is not compatible with
-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern. The latter is used when
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is selected, and this will fail to build with
a gcc which has -fcf-protection=branch enabled by default. Adding
-fcf-protection=none when building with retpoline enabled
prevents such build failures.
