kaslr_64.c also defines the same variable, however when both files are
included into final link, linker complains about multiple definition of
`__force_order' which is coming from kaslr_64.o and pgtable_64.o, its
possible that kaslr_64.o is disabled via CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE config
option, therefore define it conditionally only when
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not set
Since arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile overrides global CFLAGS it loses
-fno-common option which would have caught this

If this doesn't cause any visible problems, why bother?
Hopefully, we will be able to drop it altogether once we ditch GCC 4.X
support.

gcc10 is switching defaults to -fno-common so we need to solve this one way or
other, I am not sure if gcc 4.x will be dropped before gcc10 release
which would be
in mid of 2020

Okay, it makes sense then. Please include this info into the commit
message.
Also, I wounder if it would be cleaner to define both of them as __weak?

Or maybe make the #ifdef check for gcc < 5 instead of checking for
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE? That way it will be found by whoever
cleans up the code when we increase the minimum compiler
version to one that doesn't require the hack.

I agree: that seems a better way to do this.
