Please can I have a stable KCSAN branch for 5.8?

Hi TIP folks,
I'm looking to rebase my READ_ONCE() series [1] on top of the KCSAN patches
so that we can get them in for 5.8. However, tip/locking/kcsan seems to be
missing some bits:
* An update to checkpatch.pl to warn about missing comments for
data_race():
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200401101714.44781-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx
* I'm unable to apply these two patches from Marco that are needed for
my READ_ONCE() work:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200424154730.190041-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx/
I think these depend on stuff that has been queued by Paul, and appears
in linux-next, but to be honest with you I'm quite confused about what
is queued for 5.8 and what isn't.
What's the best base for me to use?
Cheers,
Will
