[patch added to 3.12-stable] x86, asmlinkage, lguest: Pass in globals into assembler statement

From: Jiri Slaby <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-18 12:49:57
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Andi Kleen <redacted>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

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

commit cdd77e87eae52b7251acc5990207a1c4500a84ce upstream.

Tell the compiler that the inline assembler statement
references lguest_entry.

This fixes compile problems with LTO where the variable
and the assembler code may end up in different files.
