Bug 760051

Description of problem:
code error in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S, when I compile kernel code on ubuntu 12.04, gcc complains an error:
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
  SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  AS      arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel6 2.6.32-131.21.1

How reproducible:
see the code from 2.6.32-131.21.1:

1270 #ifdef CONFIG_XEN
1271 zeroentry xen_hypervisor_callback xen_do_hypervisor_callback
1272 
1273 /*
1274  * A note on the "critical region" in our callback handler.
1275  * We want to avoid stacking callback handlers due to events occurring
1276  * during handling of the last event. To do this, we keep events disabled
1277  * until we've done all processing. HOWEVER, we must enable events before
1278  * popping the stack frame (can't be done atomically) and so it would still
1279  * be possible to get enough handler activations to overflow the stack.
1280  * Although unlikely, bugs of that kind are hard to track down, so we'd
1281  * like to avoid the possibility.
1282  * So, on entry to the handler we detect whether we interrupted an
1283  * existing activation in its critical region -- if so, we pop the current
1284  * activation and restart the handler using the previous one.
1285  */
1286 ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback)   # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
1287         CFI_STARTPROC
1288 /*
1289  * Since we don't modify %rdi, evtchn_do_upall(struct *pt_regs) will
1290  * see the correct pointer to the pt_regs
1291  */
1292         movq %rdi, %rsp            # we don't return, adjust the stack frame
1293         CFI_ENDPROC
1294         DEFAULT_FRAME
1295 11:     incl PER_CPU_VAR(irq_count)
1296         movq %rsp,%rbp
1297         CFI_DEF_CFA_REGISTER rbp
1298         cmovzq PER_CPU_VAR(irq_stack_ptr),%rsp
1299         pushq %rbp                      # backlink for old unwinder
1300         call xen_evtchn_do_upcall
1301         popq %rsp
1302         CFI_DEF_CFA_REGISTER rsp
1303         decl PER_CPU_VAR(irq_count)
1304         jmp  error_exit
1305         CFI_ENDPROC
1306 END(do_hypervisor_callback)

there is a typo on line 1306, do_hypervisor_callback should be xen_do_hypervisor_callback.

Additional info:
1) after fix the typo, gcc does not complain the error.
2) gcc version:

Using built-in specs.
