Goto's are used in several places to help gcc emit better code.
Try grepping for Dijkstra :-)
It avoids artificial 'while' constructs with funny booleans.

I hope you didn't do 'grep goto *'. This will give you nothing.
Try the following:
find /usr/src/linux -name '*.[chSs]' | xargs grep goto
if you really want to search the entire source code.
