Description of changes:

[4.4.7-18.0.7.2]
- [Orabug: 27557686] (Egeyar Bagcioglu)
Introduce 'oracle_release' into .spec file. Echo it to gcc/DEV-PHASE.
- [Orabug: 27539947] (Egeyar Bagcioglu)
- The partial backport in the revision 159308 in redhat/gcc-4_4-branch is
causing the above orabug. Revert the patch to be fully backported
later.(Egeyar Bagcioglu)
- The test case for pr18134 is failing on 4.4.7-18.0.1. However, it is a
false
positive. The revision 159308 of vanilla redhat release had caused a
change
of format in the out of this test case. The test case was modified to
accept
the new format by revision 159479. To complement the previous
reversion of
revision 159308, this patch is reverting revision 159479.

[4.4.7-18.2]
- Fix indirect_jump/tablejump patters for retpolines (#1535656)

[4.4.7-18.1]
- Retpoline support (#1535656)
