KBUILD_CFLAGS is very carefully built up in the top level Makefile,
particularly when cross compiling or using different build tools.
Resetting KBUILD_CFLAGS via := assignment is an antipattern.

The comment above the reset mentions that -pg is problematic.  Other
Makefiles use `CFLAGS_REMOVE_file.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)` when
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is set. Prefer that pattern to wiping out all of
the important KBUILD_CFLAGS then manually having to re-add them. Seems
also that __stack_chk_fail references are generated when using
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR or CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG.

Changes v3 -> v4:
* Use tabs to align flags (stylistic change only).
* Drop stable tag, patch 01/02 doesn't apply earlier than 5.1.
* Add tglx's suggested by tag for the tabs.
* Carry Vaibhav's tested by tag from v3 since v4 is simply stylistic.
Changes v2 -> v3:
* Prefer $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) which is exported to -pg.
* Also check CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR and CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG.
* Cc stable.
Changes v1 -> v2:
Rather than manually add -mno-sse, -mno-mmx, -mno-sse2, prefer to filter
-pg flags.

Looking at the resulting build flags. Most stuff looks correct but there
are a few which need to be looked at twice.

removes:

 -ffreestanding
 -fno-builtin
 -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss

changes:

 -mcmodel=large to -mcmodel=kernel

adds:

  -mindirect-branch-register
  -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern

The latter makes me nervous. That probably wants to have retpoline disabled
as well. It's not having an instance right now, but ...

Thanks,

	tglx
