Change the extra version to have -ltsi to have a chance to realize what
kernel version we are using.

commit 2062afb4f804afef61cbe62a30cac9a46e58e067 upstream.
Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random
oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling
the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled. The gcc bug
apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means
that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1.
The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill
operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can
corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in. There may be other
effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in
Michel's case.
This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by
Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments
when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the
problem. This can result in slightly worse debug information for
variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code
generation problems.
Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows
non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we
can do
export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1
to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is
independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything
twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results).
Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail
(even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc
compare failure.

According to Documentation/Changes, make 3.80 is still being supported
for building the kernel, hence make files must not make (unconditional)
use of features introduced only in newer versions. Commit 8779657d29c0
("stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG") however
introduced an "else ifdef" construct which make 3.80 doesn't understand.
Also correct a warning message still referencing the old config option
name.
Apart from that I question the use of "ifdef" here (but it was used that
way already prior to said commit): ifeq (,y) would seem more to the
point.

An extra parenthesis typo introduced in 19952a92037e ("stackprotector:
Unify the HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR logic between architectures") is
causing the following error when CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is
enabled:
Makefile:608: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR: -fstack-protector not supported by compiler
Makefile:608: *** missing separator. Stop.

Pull __TIME__/__DATE__ removal from Michal Marek:
"This series by Josh finishes the removal of __DATE__ and __TIME__ from
the kernel. The last patch adds -Werror=date-time to KBUILD_CFLAGS to
stop these from reappearing.
Part of the series went through Greg's trees during this merge window,
which is why this pull request is not based on v3.13-rc1"

Pull kbuild changes from Michal Marek:
- fix make -s detection with make-4.0
- fix for scripts/setlocalversion when the kernel repository is a
submodule
- do not hardcode ';' in macros that expand to assembler code, as some
architectures' assemblers use a different character for newline
- Fix passing --gdwarf-2 to the assembler

GCC 4.9 and newer have a new warning -Wdate-time, which warns on any use
of __DATE__, __TIME__, or __TIMESTAMP__, which would make the build
non-deterministic. Now that the kernel does not use any of those
macros, turn on -Werror=date-time if available, to keep it that way.
The kernel already (optionally) records this information at build time
in a single place; other kernel code should not duplicate that.

Change the debuging info generation flag in KBUILD_AFLAGS from '-gdwarf-2' to
'-Wa,--gdwarf-2'. This will properly generate the debugging info for .S files
when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y.
It seems current gcc does not pass a '--gdwarf-2' option on to the assembler
when '-gdwarf-2' is on its command line (note the differece in the gcc and as
flags). This change provides the correct assembler flag to gcc, and so does
not rely on gcc to emit a flag for the assembler.

Pull strong stackprotector support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, a new, stronger
stack canary checking method supported by the newest GCC versions (4.9
and later).
Here's the 'intensity comparison' between the various protection
modes:
- defconfig
11430641 kernel text size
36110 function bodies
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)
the strong model comes with non-trivial costs, which is why we
preserved the 'regular' and 'none' models as well"

make-4 changed the way/order it presents the command line options
into MAKEFLAGS
In make-3.8x, '-s' would always be first into a group of options
with the '-'/hyphen removed
$ make -p -s 2>/dev/null | grep ^MAKEFLAGS
MAKEFLAGS = sp
In make-4, '-s' seems to always be last into a group of options
with the '-'/hyphen removed
$ make -s -p 2>/dev/null | grep ^MAKEFLAGS
MAKEFLAGS = ps
