Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 3/7] rust: arch/um: Disable FP/SIMD instruction to match x86

From: David Gow <davidgow@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 8849818679478933dd1d9718741f4daa3f4e8b86 ]

The kernel disables all SSE and similar FP/SIMD instructions on
x86-based architectures (partly because we shouldn't be using floats in
the kernel, and partly to avoid the need for stack alignment, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53383 )

UML does not do the same thing, which isn't in itself a problem, but
does add to the list of differences between UML and "normal" x86 builds.

In addition, there was a crash bug with LLVM < 15 / rustc < 1.65 when
building with SSE, so disabling it fixes rust builds with earlier
compiler versions, see:
https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/pull/881
