Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull gcc "asm goto" miscompilation workaround from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is the fix for the GCC miscompilation discussed in the following
  lkml thread:

    [x86] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00740060

  The bug in GCC has been fixed by Jakub and the fix will be part of the
  GCC 4.8.2 release expected to be released next week - so the quirk's
  version test checks for <= 4.8.1.

  The quirk is only added to compiler-gcc4.h and not to the higher level
  compiler.h because all asm goto uses are behind a feature check"

/*
* GCC 'asm goto' miscompiles certain code sequences:
*
* http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670
*
* Work it around via a compiler barrier quirk suggested by Jakub Jelinek.
* Fixed in GCC 4.8.2 and later versions.
*
* (asm goto is automatically volatile - the naming reflects this.)
