[PATCH] ARM: require GCC for FRAME_POINTER

From: Stefan Agner
Date: Sat Aug 11 2018 - 05:52:41 EST


To produce a meaningful backtrace with FRAME_POINTER enabled the
kernel needs a specific function prologue:
mov ip, sp
stmfd sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
sub fp, ip, #4

To get to the required prologue gcc uses apcs and no-sched-prolog.
This compiler options are not available on clang, and clang is not
able to generate the required prologue. Make the FRAME_POINTER
config symbol dependent on GCC.

If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and
