Subject: [PATCH 3.2 60/87] compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto'
 miscompilation bug

3.2.53-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org>

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.
