Subject: [PATCH 00/10] sched.h modernization -v2, phase #1: "Pre-splitup cleanups"

This is the second version of the sched.h modernization series I posted two days
ago:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/6/468

The point of the series is to significantly reduce the <linux/sched.h> footprint,
to speed up the kernel build and to have a cleaner header structure. The new
<linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed size goes down from ~0.68 MB (~22K lines)
to ~0.45 MB (~15K lines) and is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.

The Git tree can be found at:

     git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP.sched/core

Changes in -v2:

As per the suggestions from Linus, -v2 has a reworked patch split-up structure
that should be easier to review, validate, test and bisect. I've further
split up the patches into 148 component patches and reordered them into the
following five groups/phases:

  phase #1: "Pre-splitup cleanups":               # 0721da143d99~1..582c7529a1bd,   10 patches

  phase #2: "Prepare header dependencies":        # 9017f600c534~1..d1eb6f0b580d,   48 patches
  phase #3: "Move definitions between headers":   # 3d01f4b6e32d~1..fd88c1773dd6,   53 patches
  phase #4: "Remove header dependencies":         # 2d246f83c5d3~1..2205323e0ca1,   35 patches

  phase #5: "Post-splitup cleanups":              # 55cf8bfb3af4~1..bcc6be9d66b2,    2 patches

The "pre-splitup cleanups" phase does a handful of preparatory changes that make
the subsequent sched.h restructuring easier. Some of these patches have (mostly
minor) semantic side-effects.

The middle phases are structured in a way to make it relatively easy to review
and verify that they have no semantic side-effects:

  "Prepare header dependencies":

  - These patches just add trivial placeholder headers and update various .c and .h
    files with the expected future dependencies. These patches increase the header
    dependency graph of the kernel monotonically.

  "Move definitions between headers":

  - These are the meat of the code movement, but they don't actually change the header
    dependency graph: all code movement is between pre-existing headers.

  "Remove header dependencies":

  - These remove header #include lines and remove prototypes and thus shrink the
    header dependency graph monotonically to the desired end result. These are
    small patches but most breakage will likely bisect to these, so their
    finegrained split-up is useful as well.

The "post-splitup cleanups" do cleanups on top of the finished split-up header
structure. It's two patches for now, more cleanups will be done later.

I've done a bisection step by step build test of all 148 steps on x86-defconfig,
and have performed a fair amount of all[yes|mod|no]config tests, cross-build tests
and boot tests on the final tree. Fixes to any bugs will be merged back into the
series to preserve bisectability.

As a first step the "pre-splitup" patches are sent a reply to this 0/10 email.

I'll send the other phases in separate email threads, to make them easier to
review.

As usual, any feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

	Ingo
