compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR 58670
The workaround for 'asm goto' miscompilation introduces a compiler barrier
quirk that inhibits many useful compiler optimizations. For example,
__try_cmpxchg_user compiles to:
11375: 41 8b 4d 00 mov 0x0(%r13),%ecx
11379: 41 8b 02 mov (%r10),%eax
1137c: f0 0f b1 0a lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rdx)
11380: 0f 94 c2 sete %dl
11383: 84 d2 test %dl,%dl
11385: 75 c4 jne 1134b <...>
11387: 41 89 02 mov %eax,(%r10)
where the barrier inhibits flags propagation from asm when compiled with
gcc-12.
When the mentioned quirk is removed, the following code is generated:
11553: 41 8b 4d 00 mov 0x0(%r13),%ecx
11557: 41 8b 02 mov (%r10),%eax
1155a: f0 0f b1 0a lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rdx)
1155e: 74 c9 je 11529 <...>
11560: 41 89 02 mov %eax,(%r10)
The refered compiler bug:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670
was fixed for gcc-4.8.2.
Current minimum required version of GCC is version 5.1 which has the above
'asm goto' miscompilation fixed, so remove the workaround.
