[ Upstream commit 7f1e541fc8 ]
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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
