The COUNT_ARGS() and CONCATENATE() macros are used by a single user. Let move them to it.

There is no evidence we need kernel.h inclusion in certain headers. Drop unneeded <linux/kernel.h> inclusion from other headers.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt cleaning it up by splitting out container_of() and typeof_memeber() macros.
At the same time convert users in the header and other folders to use it. Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.
Note, there are _a lot_ of headers and modules that include kernel.h solely for one of these macros and this allows to unburden compiler for the twisted inclusion paths and to make new code cleaner in the future.

Life is messy and can not easily be partitioned into tiny pieces. That way usually ends up being even messier in the end...

It's explained here. There are tons of drivers that includes kernel.h for only a few or even solely for container_of() macro.
And why is that really a problem? kernel.h is in the cache and I would be amazed if splitting this out actually made anything build faster.

One advantage is less chance of header loops which very often involve kernel.h and one of the most common reasons for other header files to include kernel.h is to access container_of.
However, I don't see much point in touching *.c files that include kernel.h.

Thanks, yes, that's also one important point.
However, I don't see much point in touching *.c files that include kernel.h.
The whole idea came when discussing drivers, esp. IIO ones. They often are using ARRAY_SIZE() + container_of(). kernel.h is a big overkill there.

It probably makes no difference. Even apparently trivial includes pull in most of the world.
I managed to get a compile error from one of the defines in sys/ioctl.h - the include sequence the compiler gave me was about 20 deep. I've forgotten where it started, but it meandered through some arch/x86 directories.
I suspect that some files have a #include where just a 'struct foo' would suffice.
There will also be .h files which include both the 'public' interface and 'private' definitions. Sometimes splitting those can reduce the number of includes. This is most noticeable compiling trivial drivers.
The other way to speed up compilations is to reduce the -I path list to the compiler. This is particularly significant if compiling over NFS. (Well NFS might have changed, but...)

I agree measurements would be ideal.
Having said that, even if it makes no performance difference, I think it is reasonable to split things (within reason) and makes a bunch of other things easier, plus sometimes one can enforce particular conventions in the separate header (like I did when introducing `compiler_attributes.h`).

It does almost 2% (steady) speedup. I will send a v2 with methodology and numbers of testing.
