[PATCH] powerpc: avoid broken GCC __attribute__((optimize))

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

Commit 7053f80d9696 ("powerpc/64: Prevent stack protection in early boot")
introduced a couple of uses of __attribute__((optimize)) with function
scope, to disable the stack protector in some early boot code.

Unfortunately, and this is documented in the GCC man pages [0], overriding
function attributes for optimization is broken, and is only supported for
debug scenarios, not for production: the problem appears to be that
setting GCC -f flags using this method will cause it to forget about some
or all other optimization settings that have been applied.

So the only safe way to disable the stack protector is to disable it for
the entire source file.

TL;DR using __attribute__((optimize("-fno-gcse"))) in the BPF interpreter
causes the compiler to forget about -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables passed
on the command line, resulting in unexpected .eh_frame sections in vmlinux.
