For this patch it won't help, since it only conflicts with changes in
this commit which is not in v5.5-rc1:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?h=locking/kcsan&id=5cbaefe9743bf14c9d3106db0cc19f8cb0a3ca22

However, for this patch there are only 3 locations in
kernel/kcsan/{core.c,encoding.h} that conflict, and all of them should
be trivial to resolve. For the version rebased against -rcu/kcsan, in
the conflicting locations I simply carried over the better style, so
that upon eventual merge the resolution should be trivial (I hope). I
have sent the rebased version here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191213204946.251125-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx

Unrelated to this patch, we also deferred the updated bitops patch
which now applies on top of v5.5-rc1:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191115115524.GA77379@xxxxxxxxxx
but doesn't apply to -rcu/kcsan. I think the bitops patch isn't
terribly urgent, so it could wait to avoid further confusion.

Many thanks,
