Hi Greg,
I used a 5.15.93 kernel
- on arm32 bit platform I tested with 5.15.93-rt58 (rt kernel) ,  on
real hardware - Freescale LS1021A, 32 bit Cortex A7 processor
- on x86_64 platform I tested non rt kernel 5.15.93  -  virtual
machine - qemu platform

Below is the build log after patch to kernel/rcu/tree.h on x86_64
