[PATCH v5 0/6] Unload linux/kernel.h

From: Yury Norov

Date: Thu Jan 15 2026 - 23:25:16 EST


kernel.h hosts declarations that can be placed better. This series
decouples kernel.h with some explicit and implicit dependencies; also,
moves tracing functionality to a new independent header.

For testing, see v4.
