Subject: compiler, READ_ONCE: Fix build failure with some older GCC
Some old versions of GCC doesn't handle __alias (or maybe a combination
of 'static __always_inline __alias') right.
GCC creates outline and unused copy of __read_once_size_check()
function in the object file which references memcpy and causes
the build failure:
arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.o: In function `__read_once_size_check':
vclock_gettime.c:(.text+0x5f): undefined reference to `memcpy'
arch/x86/entry/vdso/vgetcpu.o: In function `__read_once_size_check':
vgetcpu.c:(.text+0x2f): undefined reference to `memcpy'
We could avoid using alias to work around this problem.
