This value must be at least the fourth 154 root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS to be insanely large. 155 The default value of RCU_FANOUT should be used for production 156 systems, but if you are stress-testing the RCU implementation 157 itself, small RCU_FANOUT values allow you to test large-system 158 code paths on small(er) systems. 159 160 Select a specific number if testing RCU itself. 161 Take the default if unsure. 162 163 config RCU_FANOUT_LEAF 164 int "Tree-based hierarchical RCU leaf-level fanout value" 165 range 2 64 if 64BIT && !RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD 166 range 2 32 if !64BIT && !RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD 167 range 2 3 if RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD 168 depends on TREE_RCU && RCU_EXPERT 169 default 16 if !RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD 170 default 2 if RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD 171 help 172 This option controls the leaf-level fanout of hierarchical 173 implementations of RCU, and allows trading off cache misses 174 against lock contention. Systems that synchronize their 175 scheduling-clock interrupts for energy-efficiency reasons will 176 want the default because the smaller leaf-level fanout keeps 177 lock contention levels acceptably low. Very large systems 178 (hundreds or thousands of CPUs) will instead want to set this 179 value to the maximum value possible in order to reduce the 180 number of cache misses incurred during RCU's grace-period 181 initialization. These systems tend to run CPU-bound, and thus 182 are not helped by synchronized interrupts, and thus tend to 183 skew them, which reduces lock contention enough that large 184 leaf-level fanouts work well. That said, setting leaf-level 185 fanout to a large number will likely cause problematic 186 lock contention on the leaf-level rcu_node structures unless 187 you boot with the skew_tick kernel parameter. 188 189 Select a specific number if testing RCU itself. 190 191 Select the maximum permissible value for large systems, but 192 please understand that you may also need to set the skew_tick 193 kernel boot parameter to avoid contention on the rcu_node 194 structure's locks. 195 196 Take the default if unsure. 197 198 config RCU_BOOST 199 bool "Enable RCU priority boosting" 200 depends on (RT_MUTEXES && PREEMPT_RCU && RCU_EXPERT) || PREEMPT_RT 201 default y if PREEMPT_RT 202 help 203 This option boosts the priority of preempted RCU readers that 204 block the current preemptible RCU grace period for too long. 205 This option also prevents heavy loads from blocking RCU 206 callback invocation. 207 208 Say Y here if you are working with real-time apps or heavy loads 209 Say N here if you are unsure. 210 211 config RCU_BOOST_DELAY 212 int "Milliseconds to delay boosting after RCU grace-period start" 213 range 0 3000 214 depends on RCU_BOOST 215 default 500 216 help 217 This option specifies the time to wait after the beginning of 218 a given grace period before priority-boosting preempted RCU 219 readers blocking that grace period.

It can also be used to offload RCU 246 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered 247 asymmetric multiprocessors. The price of this reduced jitter 248 is that the overhead of call_rcu() increases and that some 249 workloads will incur significant increases in context-switch 250 rates. 251 252 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of CPUs 253 specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter. For each 254 such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to invoke 255 callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded, and where 256 the "x" is "p" for RCU-preempt (PREEMPTION kernels) and "s" for 257 RCU-sched (!PREEMPTION kernels). Nothing prevents this kthread 258 from running on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be 259 preempted between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can 260 be used to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is 261 desired. 262 263 Say Y here if you need reduced OS jitter, despite added overhead. 264 Say N here if you are unsure. 265 266 config RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL 267 bool "Offload RCU callback processing from all CPUs by default" 268 depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU 269 default n 270 help 271 Use this option to offload callback processing from all CPUs 272 by default, in the absence of the rcu_nocbs or nohz_full boot 273 parameter. This also avoids the need to use any boot parameters 274 to achieve the effect of offloading all CPUs on boot. 275 276 Say Y here if you want offload all CPUs by default on boot. 277 Say N here if you are unsure. 278 279 config RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST 280 bool "Offload RCU callback from real-time kthread" 281 depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU && RCU_BOOST 282 default y if PREEMPT_RT 283 help 284 Use this option to invoke offloaded callbacks as SCHED_FIFO 285 to avoid starvation by heavy SCHED_OTHER background load. 286 Of course, running as SCHED_FIFO during callback floods will 287 cause the rcuo[ps] kthreads to monopolize the CPU for hundreds 288 of milliseconds or more. Therefore, when enabling this option, 289 it is your responsibility to ensure that latency-sensitive 290 tasks either run with higher priority or run on some other CPU. 291 292 Say Y here if you want to set RT priority for offloading kthreads. 293 Say N here if you are building a !PREEMPT_RT kernel and are unsure. 294 295 config TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB 296 bool "Tasks Trace RCU readers use memory barriers in user and idle" 297 depends on RCU_EXPERT && TASKS_TRACE_RCU 298 default PREEMPT_RT || NR_CPUS < 8 299 help 300 Use this option to further reduce the number of IPIs sent 301 to CPUs executing in userspace or idle during tasks trace 302 RCU grace periods. Given that a reasonable setting of 303 the rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter 304 eliminates such IPIs for many workloads, proper setting 305 of this Kconfig option is important mostly for aggressive 306 real-time installations and for battery-powered devices, 307 hence the default chosen above. 308 309 Say Y here if you hate IPIs. 310 Say N here if you hate read-side memory barriers. 311 Take the default if you are unsure. 312 313 config RCU_LAZY 314 bool "RCU callback lazy invocation functionality" 315 depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU 316 default n 317 help 318 To save power, batch RCU callbacks and flush after delay, memory 319 pressure, or callback list growing too big. 320 321 Requires rcu_nocbs=all to be set. 322 323 Use rcutree.enable_rcu_lazy=0 to turn it off at boot time. 324 325 config RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF 326 bool "Turn RCU lazy invocation off by default" 327 depends on RCU_LAZY 328 default n 329 help 330 Allows building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y yet keep it default 331 off.
