Subject[PATCH 3.12 53/64] compiler/gcc4+: Remove inaccurate comment about 'asm goto' miscompiles
Date
From: Steven Noonan <steven@uplinklabs.net>

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

===============

commit 5631b8fba640a4ab2f8a954f63a603fa34eda96b upstream.

The bug referenced by the comment in this commit was not
completely fixed in GCC 4.8.2, as I mentioned in a thread back
in February:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/12/797

The conclusion at that time was to make the quirk unconditional
until the bug could be found and fixed in GCC. Unfortunately,
when I submitted the patch (commit a9f18034) I left a comment
in that claimed the bug was fixed in GCC 4.8.2+.

This comment is inaccurate, and should be removed.
