commit 032a2c4f65a2f81c93e161a11197ba19bc14a909 upstream.
cc-option is used to enable compiler options for the boot code if they are available. The macro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_CPPFLAGS for the check, however these flags aren't used to build the boot code, in consequence cc-option can yield wrong results. For example -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is never set with a 64-bit compiler, since the setting is only valid for 16 and 32-bit binaries. This is also the case for 32-bit kernel builds, because the option -m32 is added to KBUILD_CFLAGS after the assignment of REALMODE_CFLAGS.
Use __cc-option instead of cc-option for the boot mode options. The macro receives the compiler options as parameter instead of using KBUILD_C*FLAGS, for the boot code we pass REALMODE_CFLAGS.
Also use separate statements for the __cc-option checks instead of performing them in the initial assignment of REALMODE_CFLAGS since the variable is an input of the macro.
