Ah, yes. I received a compilation error because of a missing 
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for an inlined function call from kbuild test:

ERROR: "sched_clock_cpu" [kernel/torture.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "sched_clock_cpu" [drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko] undefined!

So I resent a fixed V2.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/11/602

Sorry, I did not notice you were mentioning the first version which is 
outdated. The V2 is based on top of 2b8c41daba32.
