[RFC PATCH 0/5] Add kernel-offset file and make rcu_read_[un]lock()included

From: Lai Jiangshan

__rcu_read_[un]lock() are so simple functions and called so
frequent, it is not good that a function call overhead is
required when use them. It would be better if we declare
them inline and let the compiler do the choice.

We add kernel-offset.c for TASK_RCU_OFFSET, which enable we declare
rcu_read_[un]lock() as inline function.

Adding kernel-offset.c does not have any effect for the result
compiled kernel, it just adds a small and fast step in the kbuid stage.

Lai Jiangshan (5):
task_rcu_struct
kbuild_dedumplicated
add_kernel_offset
access task's task_rcu_struct without include sched.h
rcu inline
