debug data for per-cpu variable offsets

Hi, for x86_64 platforms, I was wondering if there is any table of
per-cpu variable offsets left in a (unstripped) vmlinux file. Looking
at the disassembly of routines accessing a per-cpu variables like
current_task, we see the offset hardcoded e.g. mov %gs:0xc500,%rax. Is
there any table in some section in unstripped vmlinux that indicates
current_task is at offset 0xc500 from gs base (similar to how a
struct's members and offsets are enumerated in the debug sections of
vmlinux)?

thanks,
Deep
