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@google.com

  * 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@google.com/

    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
