[PATCH 74/74] lto, workaround: Mark do_futex noinline to prevent clobbering ebp

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On a 32bit build gcc 4.7 with LTO decides to clobber the 6th argument on the
stack.  Unfortunately this corrupts the user EBP and leads to later crashes.
For now mark do_futex noinline to prevent this.

I wish there was a generic way to handle this. Seems like a ticking time
bomb problem.
