Turns out that my last rework for the word size check broke it:
I originally had the size > wordsize check in __read_once_size/
/__write_once_size as empty extern function in a newly created file
lib/access.c and marked it with a __compiletime_warning.
Unfortunately this broke arm rpcdefconfig due to this line
CFLAGS_font.o := -Dstatic=
in
arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile.
This define made it impossible for the compiler to get rid of
the unused __write_once_size and __read_once_size and the linker
complained about the missing data_access_exceeds_word_size
as the compressed boot thing did not include lib/access.o.
So I wanted to be clever and changed data_access_exceeds_word_size
to a static inline function. Turns out that this actually disabled
the compiletime warning.
Next try, have it as a weak function. This actually does enable
the warning. It will create an empty data_access_exceeds_word_size
function in each object file, though and it will trigger a warning
for arm rpcdefconfig:
CC arch/arm/boot/compressed/font.o
include/linux/compiler.h: In function '__write_once_size':
include/linux/compiler.h:231: warning: call to 'data_access_exceeds_word_size' declared with attribute warning: data access exceeds word size and won't be atomic
include/linux/compiler.h: In function '__read_once_size':
include/linux/compiler.h:214: warning: call to 'data_access_exceeds_word_size' declared with attribute warning: data access exceeds word size and won't be atomic
In addition this also causes a compiler error on s390 allyesconfig
with GCOV enabled. (fixed in patch 1).

ebcdic.o is also used for the compressed kernel image. The decompressor
has no gcov support, so better do not add any gcov related functions.
