This option needs to be enabled if you wish to make

expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration. By default,
|

no such adjustments can be made, which has the often-beneficial

side-effect of preventing "make oldconfig" from asking you all

sorts of detailed questions about how you would like numerous

|
obscure RCU options to be set up.

Say Y if you need to make expert-level adjustments to RCU.

Say N if you are unsure.

This option controls the fanout of hierarchical implementations

large numbers of CPUs. This value must be at least the fourth

root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS to be insanely large.

The default value of RCU_FANOUT should be used for production

systems, but if you are stress-testing the RCU implementation

itself, small RCU_FANOUT values allow you to test large-system

|

This option controls the leaf-level fanout of hierarchical
|
|
implementations of RCU, and allows trading off cache misses
|
|
against lock contention. Systems that synchronize their
|
|
scheduling-clock interrupts for energy-efficiency reasons will
|
|
want the default because the smaller leaf-level fanout keeps
|
|
lock contention levels acceptably low. Very large systems
|
|
(hundreds or thousands of CPUs) will instead want to set this
|
|
value to the maximum value possible in order to reduce the
|
|
number of cache misses incurred during RCU's grace-period
|
|
initialization. These systems tend to run CPU-bound, and thus
|
|
are not helped by synchronized interrupts, and thus tend to
|
|
skew them, which reduces lock contention enough that large
|
|
leaf-level fanouts work well. That said, setting leaf-level
|
|
fanout to a large number will likely cause problematic
|
|
lock contention on the leaf-level rcu_node structures unless
|
|
you boot with the skew_tick kernel parameter.
|
|
|
|
Select a specific number if testing RCU itself.
|
|
|
|
Select the maximum permissible value for large systems, but
|
|
please understand that you may also need to set the skew_tick
|
|
kernel boot parameter to avoid contention on the rcu_node
|
|
structure's locks.

Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
|
|
real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
|
|
callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
|
|
asymmetric multiprocessors. The price of this reduced jitter
|
|
is that the overhead of call_rcu() increases and that some
|
|
workloads will incur significant increases in context-switch
|
|
rates.
|
|
|
|
This option offloads callback invocation from the set of CPUs
|
|
specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter. For each
|
|
such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to invoke
|
|
callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded, and where
|
|
the "x" is "p" for RCU-preempt (PREEMPTION kernels) and "s" for
|
|
RCU-sched (!PREEMPTION kernels). Nothing prevents this kthread
|
|
from running on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be
|
|
preempted between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can
|
|
be used to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is
|
|
desired.
|
|
|
|
Say Y here if you need reduced OS jitter, despite added overhead.
|
|
Say N here if you are unsure.

help
|
|
Use this option to further reduce the number of IPIs sent
|
|
to CPUs executing in userspace or idle during tasks trace
|
|
RCU grace periods. Given that a reasonable setting of
|
|
the rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter
|
|
eliminates such IPIs for many workloads, proper setting
|
|
of this Kconfig option is important mostly for aggressive
|
|
real-time installations and for battery-powered devices,
|
|
hence the default chosen above.
|
|
|
|
Say Y here if you hate IPIs.
|
|
Say N here if you hate read-side memory barriers.
|
|
Take the default if you are unsure.
