[PATCH 2/5] compiler.h: Add read_word_at_a_time() function.

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Thu Feb 01 2018 - 13:01:13 EST


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.
