e308e942e1 tools/liblockdep: add userspace versions of WRITE_ONCE and RCU_INIT_POINTER
These were added to the kernel code in cee34d88c ("lockdep: Fix a race between
/proc/lock_stat and module unload"). There's nothing special we need to do
about them in userspace.

5634bd7d2a liblockdep: Wrap kernel/locking/lockdep.c to allow usage from userspace
kernel/locking/lockdep.c deals with validating locking scenarios for
various architectures supported by the kernel. There isn't
anything kernel specific going on in lockdep, and when we
compare userspace to other architectures that don't have to deal
with irqs such as s390, they become all too similar.

We wrap kernel/locking/lockdep.c and include/linux/lockdep.h with
several headers which allow us to build and use lockdep from
userspace. We don't touch the kernel code itself which means
that any work done on lockdep in the kernel will automatically
benefit userspace lockdep as well!
