[PATCH] x86/Makefile: make -stack-alignment conditional on LLD < 13.0.0

From: torvic9
Date: Thu Jun 10 2021 - 05:28:24 EST


Since LLVM commit 3787ee4, the '-stack-alignment' flag has been dropped [1],
leading to the following error message when building a LTO kernel with
Clang-13 and LLD-13:

ld.lld: error: -plugin-opt=-: ld.lld: Unknown command line argument
'-stack-alignment=8'. Try 'ld.lld --help'
ld.lld: Did you mean '--stackrealign=8'?

It also appears that the '-code-model' flag is not necessary anymore starting
with LLVM-9 [2].

Drop '-code-model' and make '-stack-alignment' conditional on LLD < 13.0.0.

This is for linux-stable 5.12.
Another patch will be submitted for 5.13 shortly (unless there are objections).
