3.2.53-rc1 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.
