Subject: compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation bug
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.
