| This document gives a brief rationale for the TREE_RCU-related test |
| cases, a group that includes PREEMPT_RCU. |
| |
| |
| Kconfig Parameters: |
| |
| CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC -- Do three, covering CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING & not. |
| CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD -- Do one. |
| CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC -- Do one. |
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE -- Do those not otherwise specified. (Groups of two.) |
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL -- Do two, one with partial CPU enablement. |
| CONFIG_PREEMPT -- Do half. (First three and #8.) |
| CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING -- Do several, covering CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y and not. |
| CONFIG_PROVE_RCU -- Hardwired to CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. |
| CONFIG_RCU_BOOST -- one of PREEMPT_RCU. |
| CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT -- Cover hierarchy, but overlap with others. |
| CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF -- Do one non-default. |
| CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU -- Do three, one with no rcu_nocbs CPUs, one with |
| rcu_nocbs=0, and one with all rcu_nocbs CPUs. |
| CONFIG_RCU_TRACE -- Do half. |
| CONFIG_SMP -- Need one !SMP for PREEMPT_RCU. |
| CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT=n -- Do a few, but these have to be vanilla configurations. |
| CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG -- Do at least one for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and not. |
| |
| RCU-bh: Do one with PREEMPT and one with !PREEMPT. |
| RCU-sched: Do one with PREEMPT but not BOOST. |
| |
| |
| Boot parameters: |
| |
| nohz_full - do at least one. |
| maxcpu -- do at least one. |
| rcupdate.rcu_self_test_bh -- Do at least one each, offloaded and not. |
| rcupdate.rcu_self_test_sched -- Do at least one each, offloaded and not. |
| rcupdate.rcu_self_test -- Do at least one each, offloaded and not. |
| rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact -- Do at least one. |
| |
| |
| Kconfig Parameters Ignored: |
| |
| CONFIG_64BIT |
| |
| Used only to check CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT value, inspection suffices. |
| |
| CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT |
| CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU |
| |
| Redundant with CONFIG_PREEMPT, ignore. |
| |
| CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY |
| |
| Inspection suffices, ignore. |
| |
| CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT |
| |
| Inspection suffices, ignore. |
| |
| CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON |
| |
| Implied by TREE_RCU and PREEMPT_RCU. |
| |
| CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST |
| CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE |
| |
| Always used in KVM testing. |
| |
| CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU |
| CONFIG_TREE_RCU |
| CONFIG_TINY_RCU |
| CONFIG_TASKS_RCU |
| |
| These are controlled by CONFIG_PREEMPT and/or CONFIG_SMP. |
| |
| |
| boot parameters ignored: TBD |
