Arvind Sankar 003602ad55 x86/*/Makefile: Use -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to suppress .eh_frame sections
While discussing a patch to discard .eh_frame from the compressed
vmlinux using the linker script, Fangrui Song pointed out [1] that these
sections shouldn't exist in the first place because arch/x86/Makefile
uses -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables.

It turns out this is because the Makefiles used to build the compressed
kernel redefine KBUILD_CFLAGS, dropping this flag.

Add the flag to the Makefile for the compressed kernel, as well as the
EFI stub Makefile to fix this.

Also add the flag to boot/Makefile and realmode/rm/Makefile so that the
kernel's boot code (boot/setup.elf) and realmode trampoline
(realmode/rm/realmode.elf) won't be compiled with .eh_frame sections,
since their linker scripts also just discard them.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
