[PATCH 3.4 007/134] compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for asm goto miscompilation bug

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Apr 10 2014 - 00:09:44 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3f0116c3238a96bc18ad4b4acefe4e7be32fa861 upstream.

Fengguang Wu, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra tracked down
a kernel crash to a GCC bug: GCC miscompiles certain 'asm goto'
constructs, as outlined here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670

Implement a workaround suggested by Jakub Jelinek.
