15	help
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.

36	  This option provides a kernel module that runs performance
37	  tests on the RCU infrastructure.  The kernel module may be built
38	  after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.
39
40	  Say Y here if you want RCU performance tests to be built into
41	  the kernel.

52	  This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests
53	  on the RCU infrastructure.  The kernel module may be built
54	  after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.
55
56	  Say Y here if you want RCU torture tests to be built into

66	default n
67	help
68	  This option provides a kernel module that runs performance tests
69	  useful comparing RCU with various read-side synchronization mechanisms.
70	  The kernel module may be built after the fact on the running kernel to be
71	  tested, if desired.
72
73	  Say Y here if you want these performance tests built into the kernel.
74	  Say M if you want to build it as a module instead.

81	default 21
82	help
83	  If a given RCU grace period extends more than the specified
84	  number of seconds, a CPU stall warning is printed.  If the
85	  RCU grace period persists, additional CPU stall warnings are
86	  printed at more widely spaced intervals.

88config RCU_TRACE
89	bool "Enable tracing for RCU"
90	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL

94	  This option enables additional tracepoints for ftrace-style
95	  event tracing.

98	  Say N if you are unsure.

100config RCU_EQS_DEBUG
101	bool "Provide debugging asserts for adding NO_HZ support to an arch"
102	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
103	help
104	  This option provides consistency checks in RCU's handling of
105	  NO_HZ.  These checks have proven quite helpful in detecting
106	  bugs in arch-specific NO_HZ code.
107
108	  Say N here if you need ultimate kernel/user switch latencies
109	  Say Y if you are unsure
110
111config RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD

113	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && RCU_EXPERT && NR_CPUS <= 4
114	default n
115	select PREEMPT_COUNT if PREEMPT=n
116	help
117	  Select this option to build an RCU variant that is strict about
118	  grace periods, making them as short as it can.  This limits
119	  scalability, destroys real-time response, degrades battery
120	  lifetime and kills performance.  Don't try this on large
121	  machines, as in systems with more than about 10 or 20 CPUs.
122	  But in conjunction with tools like KASAN, it can be helpful
123	  when looking for certain types of RCU usage bugs, for example,
124	  too-short RCU read-side critical sections.
