Sometimes we know that it's safe to do potentially out-of-bounds access
because we know it won't cross a page boundary.  Still, KASAN will
report this as a bug.

Add read_word_at_a_time() function which is supposed to be used in such
cases.  In read_word_at_a_time() KASAN performs relaxed check - only the
first byte of access is validated.

<title>compiler.h: Remove ACCESS_ONCE()</title>

<content type='text'>
There are no longer any kernelspace uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), so we can
remove the definition from &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt;.

This patch removes the ACCESS_ONCE() definition, and updates comments
which referred to it. At the same time, some inconsistent and redundant
whitespace is removed from comments.

<content type='text'>
Add 'volatile' to the unreachable annotation macro inline asm
statements.  They're already implicitly volatile because they don't have
output constraints, but it's clearer and more robust to make them
explicitly volatile.

<title>objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable(), take 2</title>

<id>ec1e1b6109171d1890a437481c35b2b56d2327b8</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes the following warning with GCC 4.6:

  mm/migrate.o: warning: objtool: migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()+0x71: unreachable instruction

The problem is that the compiler merged identical annotate_unreachable()
inline asm blocks, resulting in a missing 'unreachable' annotation.

This problem happened before, and was partially fixed with:

  3d1e236022cc ("objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()")

That commit tried to ensure that each instance of the
annotate_unreachable() inline asm statement has a unique label.  It used
the __LINE__ macro to generate the label number.  However, even the line
number isn't necessarily unique when used in an inline function with
multiple callers (in this case, __alloc_pages_node()'s use of
VM_BUG_ON).
