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

From: Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org
commit 68fb3ca0e408e00db1c3f8fccdfa19e274c033be upstream.
In commit 4356e9f841f7 ("work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs") I did the gcc workaround unconditionally, because the cause of the bad code generation wasn't entirely clear.
In the meantime, Jakub Jelinek debugged the issue, and has come up with a fix in gcc [2], which also got backported to the still maintained branches of gcc-11, gcc-12 and gcc-13.
Note that while the fix technically wasn't in the original gcc-14 branch, Jakub says:
"while it is true that no GCC 14 snapshots until today (or whenever the fix will be committed) have the fix, for GCC trunk it is up to the distros to use the latest snapshot if they use it at all and would allow better testing of the kernel code without the workaround, so that if there are other issues they won't be discovered years later. Most userland code doesn't actually use asm goto with outputs..."
so we will consider gcc-14 to be fixed - if somebody is using gcc snapshots of the gcc-14 before the fix, they should upgrade.
Note that while the bug goes back to gcc-11, in practice other gcc changes seem to have effectively hidden it since gcc-12.1 as per a bisect by Jakub. So even a gcc-14 snapshot without the fix likely doesn't show actual problems.
Also, make the default 'asm_goto_output()' macro mark the asm as volatile by hand, because of an unrelated gcc issue [1] where it doesn't match the documented behavior ("asm goto is always volatile").
