     ("x86/build: Specify stack alignment for clang")
    
    intended to use the same stack alignment for clang as with gcc.
    
    The two compilers use different options to configure the stack alignment
    (gcc: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=n, clang: -mstack-alignment=n).
    
    The above commit assumes that the clang option uses the same parameter
    type as gcc, i.e. that the alignment is specified as 2^n. However clang
    interprets the value of this option literally to use an alignment of n,
    in consequence the stack remains misaligned.
    
    Change the values used with -mstack-alignment to be the actual alignment
    instead of a power of two.
    
    cc-option isn't used here with the typical pattern of KBUILD_CFLAGS +=
    $(call cc-option ...). The reason is that older gcc versions don't
    support the -mpreferred-stack-boundary option, since cc-option doesn't
    verify whether the alternative option is valid it would incorrectly
    select the clang option -mstack-alignment..
