The torture.sh "acceptance test" with KCSAN and --duration 30 ran
fine except for this in TREE09:

kernel/rcu/tree_nocb.h:1785:13: error: unused function '__call_rcu_nocb_wake' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]

My guess is that the declaration of __call_rcu_nocb_wake() in
kernel/rcu/tree.h needs an "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP", but you might have a
better fix.

						Thanx, Paul
