Compilers older than 4.8 have known codegen issues which can lead to silent miscompilation: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Furthermore, pre-4.9 GCC have known bugs (including things like internal compiler errors on Arm) which would require workaround (I haven't checked if we have any in Xen). The minimum version of GCC to build the hypervisor on arm is now raised to 4.9. In addition to that, on arm64, GCC version >= 4.9 and < 5.1 have been shown to emit memory references beyond the stack pointer, resulting in memory corruption if an interrupt is taken after the stack pointer has been adjusted but before the reference has been executed. Therefore, the minimum for arm64 is raised to 5.1. Signed-off-by:
