This report is confusing:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/202108160729.Lx0IJzq3-lkp@intel.com/
(csky gcc-11)

>> csky-linux-gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '--param=allow-store-data-races=0'; did you mean '--allow-store-data-races'?

I wonder if cc-option detection for these is broken?  Perhaps I should
not touch these other than to wrap them in the CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC guard?

(Either way, I need to send a v2 in response to Naresh's report as
well. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+G9fYtPBp_-Ko_P7NuOX6vN9-66rjJuBt21h3arrLqEaQQn6w@mail.gmail.com/
It seems that -mfentry wasn't implemented for s390-linux-gnu-gcc until
gcc-9; so rather than remove top level support, perhaps a comment
about gcc-9+ s390 having support will make grepping for it easier in
the future).
