ARM: kvm: fix building with gcc-8
In banked-sr.c, we use a top-level '__asm__(".arch_extension virt")' statement to allow compilation of a multi-CPU kernel for ARMv6 and older ARMv7-A that don't normally support access to the banked registers. This is considered to be a programming error by the gcc developers and will no longer work in gcc-8, where we now get a build error: /tmp/cc4Qy7GR.s:34: Error: Banked registers are not available with this architecture. -- `mrs r3,SP_usr' /tmp/cc4Qy7GR.s:41: Error: Banked registers are not available with this architecture. -- `mrs r3,ELR_hyp' /tmp/cc4Qy7GR.s:55: Error: Banked registers are not available with this architecture. -- `mrs r3,SP_svc' /tmp/cc4Qy7GR.s:62: Error: Banked registers are not available with this architecture. -- `mrs r3,LR_svc' /tmp/cc4Qy7GR.s:69: Error: Banked registers are not available with this architecture. -- `mrs r3,SPSR_svc' /tmp/cc4Qy7GR.s:76: Error: Banked registers are not available with this architecture. -- `mrs r3,SP_abt' Passign the '-march-armv7ve' flag to gcc works, and is ok here, because we know the functions won't ever be called on pre-ARMv7VE machines. Unfortunately, older compiler versions (4.8 and earlier) do not understand that flag, so we still need to keep the asm around. Backporting to stable kernels (4.6+) is needed to allow those to be built with future compilers as well.
