Will Deacon 51f5fd2e46 tools headers barrier: Fix arm64 tools build failure wrt smp_load_{acquire,release}
Cheers for reporting this. I managed to reproduce the build failure with
gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1).

The code in question is the arm64 versions of smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release(). Unlike other architectures, these are not built
around READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() since we have instructions we can
use instead of fences. Bringing our macros up-to-date with those (i.e.
tweaking the union initialisation and using the special "uXX_alias_t"
types) appears to fix the issue for me.

Committer notes:

Testing it in the systems previously failing:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
