16	  Enable RCU lockdep checking for list usages. By default it is
17	  turned off since there are several list RCU users that still
18	  need to be converted to pass a lockdep expression. To prevent
19	  false-positive splats, we keep it default disabled but once all
20	  users are converted, we can remove this config option.

77	  tested, if desired.

89	  If a given RCU grace period extends more than the specified
90	  number of seconds, a CPU stall warning is printed.  If the
91	  RCU grace period persists, additional CPU stall warnings are

110	  This option provides consistency checks in RCU's handling of
111	  NO_HZ.  These checks have proven quite helpful in detecting
112	  bugs in arch-specific NO_HZ code.

121	select PREEMPT_COUNT if PREEMPT=n
122	help
123	  Select this option to build an RCU variant that is strict about
124	  grace periods, making them as short as it can.  This limits
125	  scalability, destroys real-time response, degrades battery
126	  lifetime and kills performance.  Don't try this on large
127	  machines, as in systems with more than about 10 or 20 CPUs.
128	  But in conjunction with tools like KASAN, it can be helpful
129	  when looking for certain types of RCU usage bugs, for example,
130	  too-short RCU read-side critical sections.
