TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt (2207B)


      1This document gives a brief rationale for the TREE_RCU-related test
      2cases, a group that includes PREEMPT_RCU.

      5Kconfig Parameters:
      6
      7CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC -- Do three, covering CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING & not.
      8CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD -- Do one.
      9CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC -- Do one.
     10CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE -- Do those not otherwise specified. (Groups of two.)
     11CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL -- Do two, one with partial CPU enablement.
     12CONFIG_PREEMPT -- Do half.  (First three and #8.)
     13CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING -- Do several, covering CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y and not.
     14CONFIG_PROVE_RCU -- Hardwired to CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING.
     15CONFIG_RCU_BOOST -- one of PREEMPT_RCU.
     16CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT -- Cover hierarchy, but overlap with others.
     17CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF -- Do one non-default.
     18CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU -- Do three, one with no rcu_nocbs CPUs, one with
     19	rcu_nocbs=0, and one with all rcu_nocbs CPUs.
     20CONFIG_RCU_TRACE -- Do half.
     21CONFIG_SMP -- Need one !SMP for PREEMPT_RCU.
     22CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT=n -- Do a few, but these have to be vanilla configurations.
     23CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG -- Do at least one for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and not.
     24
     25RCU-bh: Do one with PREEMPT and one with !PREEMPT.
     26RCU-sched: Do one with PREEMPT but not BOOST.

     31nohz_full - do at least one.
     32maxcpu -- do at least one.

     39Kconfig Parameters Ignored:
     40
     41CONFIG_64BIT
     42
     43	Used only to check CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT value, inspection suffices.
     44
     45CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT
     46CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
     47
     48	Redundant with CONFIG_PREEMPT, ignore.
     49
     50CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY
     51
     52	Inspection suffices, ignore.
     53
     54CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT
     55
     56	Inspection suffices, ignore.
     57
     58CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON
     59
     60	Implied by TREE_RCU and PREEMPT_RCU.
     61
     62CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST
     63CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE
     64
     65	Always used in KVM testing.
     66
     67CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
     68CONFIG_TREE_RCU
     69CONFIG_TINY_RCU
     70CONFIG_TASKS_RCU
     71
     72	These are controlled by CONFIG_PREEMPT and/or CONFIG_SMP.
     73
     74CONFIG_SRCU
     75
     76	Selected by CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, so cannot disable.
