Subject[PATCH 30/74] x86, lto: Fix AMD K6 indirect call check
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The AMD K6 errata check relies on timing a indirect call.
But the way it was written it could be optimized to a direct call.
Force gcc to actually do a indirect call and not just
constant resolve the target address.
