-------------- next part --------------
Patch to generate labels for cold function parts that are split when
using the option -freorder-blocks-and-partition.  The cold label name
is generated by suffixing ".cold" to the assembler name of the hot
function.

This is useful when getting back traces from gdb when the cold function
part does get executed.
